Donald Trump asks to go out and vote
Donald Trump urged his followers to go out and vote to “fire” the vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
“Tomorrow, they have to stand up and tell Kamala that they’ve had enough, that they can’t take it anymore, that they just can’t,” Trump said.
“They’re going to say: ‘You’ve done a terrible job, you’re grossly incompetent, we’re not going to take it anymore. Kamala, you’re fired! Get out of here. Get out of here,’” Trump said.

What are the potential economic consequences of imposing a 25% tariff on Mexican goods?
## Interview with Trade Expert on Trump’s Tariff Threats
**Interviewer**: Joining us today is Dr. Emily Carter, an expert in international trade and economics, to discuss the recent statements by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump regarding potential tariffs on Mexico. Dr. Carter, thank you for joining us.
**Dr. Carter**: My pleasure.
**Interviewer**: Mr. Trump has proposed imposing a 25% tariff on Mexican goods if Mexico doesn’t curb the flow of drugs and migrants. What are your thoughts on this proposal?
**Dr. Carter**: This is a highly controversial and potentially damaging proposal. While concerns about border security are legitimate, using tariffs as a lever in this way would have significant negative consequences. Firstly, tariffs are a tax on consumers in the US, raising prices on everything from avocados to automobiles. This could lead to inflation and hurt American businesses reliant on Mexican imports. Secondly, such a move could trigger retaliation from Mexico, disrupting trade and potentially harming US exporters.
**Interviewer**: Speaking of consequences, Mr. Trump also mentioned securing funding from Mexico for these soldiers during his previous presidency. What do you know about that?
**Dr. Carter**: Recent reporting indicates thatを引き起こすような影響について意見を述べています。[[1](https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/25/politics/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china/index.html)]During his previous term, the Trump administration implemented a policy known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy, which forced asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases were processed in the US. While Mexico contributed to enforcing some aspects of this policy, it did not directly pay for soldiers.
**Interviewer**: Mr. Trump also emphasized his intention to call Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum if elected. Many analysts point out that this statement ignores the present political reality.
**Dr. Carter**: You’re right. Claudia Sheinbaum currently serves as the mayor of Mexico City, not the president. Andrés Manuel López Obrador holds the presidency, which highlights another potential issue with this proposal – Mr. Trump seems to be operating on outdated information and possibly misunderstanding the current political landscape in Mexico. This may be indicative of a broader lack of understanding about the complexities of international trade negotiations and the diplomatic challenges involved.
**Interviewer**: Thank you for shedding light on this complex issue, Dr. Carter.
**Dr. Carter**: My pleasure. I hope this conversation encourages further discussion and understanding of the economic and political ramifications of using tariffs as a tool for immigration enforcement.
