Trump threatens to close southern borderPresident Trump told reporters on Friday that unless Mexican authorities immediately halt all illegal immigration he will likely shut down America's southern border next week. "We will close it for a long time." Trump said the decision could include shutting down "all trade." The U.S. and Mexico exchange about $1.7 billion in goods every day, so if Trump follows through on his warnings there could be significant effects on both economies.
