If the tariffs go ahead, the United States will be in a serious dispute with two of its three top trading partners. Trump has threatened to increase the tariffs on Mexico to as high as 25% later this year if the Mexican government does not do more to stop the migrants. Mexico exports a broad array of goods to the United States, ranging from cars, auto parts and televisions to popular brands of beer. Toyota Motor Corp said on Tuesday tariffs on Mexican imports could cost the automaker's major suppliers as much as $1 billion. Under pressure from the United States, the Mexican government changed strategy, and detentions in May surged past 20,000.
