Trump may delay Mexico tariffs amid Republican revolt - live
Source: The Guardian
Donald Trump may decide over the weekend to delay his planned tariffs on Mexico, a White House official said.
Marc Short, chief of staff to the vice-president, Mike Pence, said the tariffs may be delayed if negotiations between the US and Mexico go well, the Washington Post .
Theres a long way to go still, thats the bottom line, he said, according to the Post. But I think that there is the ability, if negotiations continue to go well, that the president can turn that off at some point over the weekend.
Trump has said a 5% tariff on Mexican goods will go into effect Monday, and could increase to 25% over time, because of his displeasure with immigrants crossing the US-Mexico border. US and Mexican officials have been in negotiations, discussing a plan that could keep Central American asylum seekers out of the US and allow the government to quickly deport those who do make it in.

See, you want to stay out of jail, so it's in your interest to forego the tariffs for now.

Today's Numbers are a lagging indicating effect of what the Tariff talk has had on our economy.
The Wealthy are just sitting on their Money they gained with the Tax giveaway. Which we all knew was the built in effect of that Tax Bill. Wealthy people do not create Jobs. Consumers create the Jobs.

Each day the army gun store sells on average just 38 firearms to civilians, while an estimated 580 weapons are smuggled into Mexico from the United States.
