Senior Trump economic advisor Peter Navarro laid out three conditions for Mexico to avoid the tariffs. That would avoid migrants travelling to the United States, where they then request asylum. Secondly, Navarro said, Mexico has to more strongly police its southern border with Guatemala to prevent migrants from entering. He said he was certain the United States would help if Mexico City put more resources into policing its southern border. A delegation of top Mexican officials led by Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard have been in Washington since Friday hoping to head off the tariffs Trump ordered.
