Trump says to Mexico: "Something very dramatic could happen"










A day after the talks with a Mexican delegation in the White House on the threat of tariffs, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, said that "many progresses" were made, but that he is prepared to take "dramatic" measures against the Latin American country.

"I think a lot of progress was made yesterday," Trump said in Ireland before leaving for Normandy.


"Something very dramatic could happen," Trump said. "We have told Mexico that tariffs continue. And we mean it. "



Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on all Mexican products that will increase if the Latin American country does not take measures to stop illegal border crossings.

In his brief comments at the Shannon airport, Trump criticized the Democrats for not taking the legislative steps that would help alleviate the increase in the number of border crossings.



"The Democrats in Congress have been a disaster," Trump said.

"They do not care what kind of record they have," he continued. "We could solve this problem so easily if the Democrats in Congress were willing to make some changes."

"They could not care less. Everything is politics, "he said.

Could Russia and the US come to a deal over Venezuela’s Maduro?

As unrest continues in Venezuela, some analysts are questioning how much support Russia will give beleaguered President Nicolas Maduro and if Moscow could be ready to strike a deal with the U.S. to end the Latin American country’s political and humanitarian crisis. The U.S. and Russia have traded fresh barbs over Venezuela, each accusing the other of interfering in the country as protesters took to the streets for a second day in support of opposition leader Juan Guaido. On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Maduro was prepared to leave the protest-wracked country Tuesday morning but said he had changed his mind after Russia intervened. "They had an airplane on the tarmac. He was ready to leave this morning, as we understand it. Russians indicated he should stay," Pompeo told CNN. Russia rebuffed that accusation, with Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova saying Wednesday that the U.S. assertion was part of an "information war,...

The tragedy of Venezuela will seriously affect the US

Knowing what I know about my own Administration’s attempt to unseat Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in 2002, I was not surprised when the effort was recently renewed by the Trump Administration, particularly when such arch-defenders of Latin American rights as Elliott Abrams, Marco Rubio, and Rick Scott – not to mention John Bolton – began to appear on the White House payroll. Knowing as well that Trump did not give a farthing for what happened in Venezuela but was concentrated on what he is always focused on, domestic politics, I knew these underlings would be allowed to cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war in Venezuela so long as doing it secured Florida’s electoral votes for Trump in 2020. What I did not know – but looking back to 2002, should have – is how utterly incompetent the CIA would be in pulling off the "soft coup d’etat" that its leaders promised Trump. The events of the past 48 hours have demonstrated that incompetence markedly, as well as the real...
