Trump unimpressed with US – Mexico trade talks

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – US President Donald Trump has said “not nearly enough” progress is being made in negotiations with Mexico to avert his threatened tariffs.

Trump administration officials will meet for second day of talks with Mexico’s foreign minister in Washington on Thursday.

Mr Trump vowed import duties of 5% will take effect on Monday unless Mexico stems the flow of migrants to the US.

Those numbers reached their highest level in more than a decade last month.
