http://news.sky.com/story/mexico-threatens-trade-war-over-donald-trumps-wall-tax-10780906 Mexico has threatened to retaliate if US President Donald Trump imposes a border tax to pay for his controversial wall. Mexico's foreign minister Luis Videgaray said his country would respond to any tax levied by the US and that they did not actually need financial help. He warned Mexico could impose levies on select goods aimed at US regions most reliant on exports south of the border, such as Iowa, Texas and Wisconsin. View Quote |

The art of the deal. ....they need us more then we need them.
MAGA |

There is nothing I need from Mexico that we cant get here already. We got better tasting Mexican food anyways.

So,let me get this straight
They are saying that they will blackmail the US if they build a wall that stops Mexicans doing illegal things. All this while they have a big fucking wall at the bottom of their country to stop illegal immigrants coming in from the south while also getting tourist dollars from Americans and car plants employing Mexicans on their soil etc etc.. An the msm are reporting this as if it's ok not attacking him a a fucking stupid hypocrit and telling him to fuck off. Have I got this right? |

Third world trying to dictate to the US of A. I guess they are hoping the dems along with enough RINOS will get scared and cave and fight President Trump.

How is Mexico going to tax illegal drugs? That is their number 1 export into the US.

View Quote View Quote Mexico's number one source of legit income is exports. 80% to the US. We can hurt them way worse than they can hurt us. I still think if push comes to shove Trump needs to start putting the word embargo out there. |

We'll just import what we want from south of south of the border.
Problem solved. |

Mehico is playing a costly game they have zero chance of winning. Mehico you wanna get your shit pushed in? Because that's how you get your shit pushed in. Completely paying for the wall and being a true ally by helping to curb illegal immigration would be far less costly.

As a man who has delivered the same production equipment to the US and Mexico, I say HAH. No offense, but Mexico is where productivity goes to die. It is a hell hole of failure. Everyone knows it. If the tax breaks end, Mexico ends. Same with PR, and other shitholes. Manufacturing is begging to come home.

A Narco country masquerading as a legitimate trading partner who's main source of revenue is from siphoning off US tax payers social welfare programs.
good luck Amigos! |

My Mexican coworkers are REALLY sweating this whole Trump thing...
Loving every.single.minute. |
|
Well then, let's get in on. Let's close the border and stop all trade with them. It's gonna hurt them a lot worse than it hurts us.
|
|
If Mexico decided to have a trade war with the U.S., would anyone outside of Mexico notice?
|
|
Trump's wall is getting a lot of press in Mexico. The Mexican politicians have to say something in an attempt to sound tough. So this is it.
|
|
That 20% tax on wire transfers? It's now 50%. Suck it perras.

Cheaper just to for the wall. It's not personal. It's just business. |

Pretty sure they'd lose, since they don't invent shit. All they have is cheap, unskilled labor.
ooooh scary |

Last I checked the southern hemisphere has summer when we have winter. I'm sure south American countries would love to provide us with avacado, tomatoes and other fine fruits and veggies. Hell Guatemalan people have small hands they would be perfect for building cars with increasingly tighter and tighter engine bays.

I like Nicaraguans and Costa Ricans.
I've got nothing against the stinking, hairy, cock sucking Mexicans. |

Oh shit. You mean I won't be able to get my hep-A laced strawberries?

A man, no a nation, no a shit hole has got to know its limitations........sometimes you just dont take things to the next level as the other party will exceed your ceiling

Ah, so the real reason of the Border Patrol increases and Wall come into play.
Smart. The only real threat Mexico could've launched against US is continuing to encourage their people to cross our border. I hope our team is prepped for Olympic Level Red Rover |

Oh, and around 5 million jobs in the US depend on Mexican imports. I don't think a trade war is going to be as bloodless as some of you guys think... But whatever....this is Arfcom - we don't need no numbers and shit... |
