Trump Threatens to Double Tariffs on Mexico Over Migrant Caravans – The Indian Awaaz
What happened
US President Donald Trump has threatened to increase tariffs on Mexico unless it stops migrant caravans. Trump's warning was made via a social media post, in which he stated that groups of migrants are forming and moving through Mexico. He claimed that Mexican authorities and US immigration agencies have been informed. No migrant caravan has reached the US border since Trump returned to office in January 2025, according to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
Why it matters
The threat of increased tariffs could impact trade between the two countries. The issue of migration management is a recurring subject in US-Mexico bilateral relations due to their shared land border. The outcome of the US midterm elections has been cited by Trump as a reason for the renewed migration.
