Trump threatens Mexico with doubled tariffs over caravan

President Donald Trump threatened to immediately double tariffs on Mexico unless it stops a migrant caravan traveling north toward the U.S. He described the movement as an invasion and said Mexican officials, Texas’ incoming Democratic governor, Border Patrol and ICE had been notified. One report put the group at about 1,500 people, mostly from Central America, who had departed from southern Mexico; Trump also linked the reported migration to Republican midterm losses and said he was not on the ballot. His posts did not specify the current tariff level or a deadline for Mexico to act, and Mexico had not publicly responded in the reports.
