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.

## Interview with Dr. Maria Sanchez on Trump’s Tariff Threat
**Host:** Dr. Sanchez, Donald Trump has made some bold statements recently regarding Mexico and imposing tariffs. What are your thoughts on his proposed plan to impose tariffs on Mexican goods if they don’t curb drug and migrant flow into the US?
**Dr. Sanchez:** This is a deeply concerning escalation of rhetoric and potential policy from Mr. Trump. Threatening massive tariffs on a vital trading partner like Mexico is not a constructive approach to complex issues like migration and drug trafficking.
Firstly, these tariffs would be extremely harmful to both the US and Mexican economies. Mexico is the top supplier of goods to the US [[1](https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/25/politics/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china/index.html)]. Tariffs would raise prices for American consumers, disrupt supply chains, and hurt American businesses that rely on Mexican imports. Ultimately it could lead to job losses and economic downturn on both sides of the border.
Secondly, framing this issue as Mexico “sending” criminals and drugs oversimplifies a complex global problem. Migration is driven by push and pull factors, including poverty, violence, and climate change in Central America. Drug trafficking is a transnational organized crime issue that requires international cooperation, not unilateral punitive measures.
**Host:** Trump claims he made Mexico pay for deploying soldiers to its border during his previous term. How accurate is that statement?
**Dr. Sanchez:** This statement is misleading. While Mexico did increase troop deployment to its southern border during the Trump administration, they did so under their own national security interests and not because of pressure from the US.
Furthermore, attributing full responsibility to Mexico for stemming migration ignores the role of the US in contributing to the conditions that drive people to leave their homes in the first place.
**Host:** What are the potential ramifications of this kind of rhetoric and policy on US-Mexico relations?
**Dr. Sanchez:** This kind of rhetoric and policy fuels mistrust and animosity between the two nations. It damages the long-standing economic and social ties that are vital to the well-being of both countries.
A more constructive approach would involve collaboration with Mexico on shared challenges, addressing the root causes of migration, promoting economic development in Central America, and working together to combat transnational crime.
**Host:** Thank you for your insights, Dr. Sanchez.
**Dr. Sanchez:** My pleasure.
