US AND MEXICO: MORE TALKS, NO DEAL YET TO AVERT TARIFFS

Ending a second day of tense negotiations, U.S. and Mexican officials failed Thursday to reach a deal to avert import tariffs President Trump is threatening to impose Monday. The tariffs are an attempt to force Mexico to stem the flow of Central American migrants across the southern U.S. border. Trump has stated he will impose a 5 percent tax on all Mexican goods until “the illegal immigration problem is remedied.” (Associated Press)
