President Donald Trump warned Friday that he would shut down the southern border next week “if Mexico doesn’t immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States.”

 

“We’ll keep it closed for a long time. I’m not playing games,” Trump told reporters during a visit to the Herbert Hoover Dike at Lake Okeechobee, Fla. Asked if that would include trade — Mexico is the country’s third-largest trading partner — Trump said “It could be [closed] to all trade.”

 

Trump said the situation is urgent because “we have right now two big caravans coming from Guatemala, massive caravans, walking right through Mexico.” If they don’t stop’ em, we’re closing the border,” he added.

 

He continued the tough talk later at his Mar-a-Lago resort. “Mexico is going to have to do something. Otherwise, I’m closing the border. I’ll just close the border,” Trump said.

 

“And with a deficit like we’ve have with Mexico and have had for many years, closing the borders will be a profit-making operation. When you close the border, also you will stop a lot of the drugs from coming in.”
