**Trump Threatens Massive Tariffs on Mexico Over Border Issues**

Donald Trump, the former president, has issued a warning of imposing tariffs ranging from 25 to 100 percent on Mexico unless it takes measures to close its northern border with the United States. Speaking in Raleigh, North Carolina, Trump unveiled this during a Monday speech, adding intensity to his 2024 presidential campaign's protectionist rhetoric.

Mexico was America's largest trading partner last year, and the suggested tariffs come as a part of Trump's continued pressure to address migration issues. He emphasized that the tariffs would be implemented unless Mexico significantly curbed the movement of migrants northward.

This isn’t the first time the former president has floated the idea of increased tariffs. Trump has already hinted at a blanket tariff of up to 20 percent on all countries, a move that economists warn could drastically drive up prices for American consumers. However, Trump's focus has increasingly turned to Mexico, reiterating his stance that the country isn't doing enough to control migration towards the US.

The tough trade measures proposed by Trump are part of a broader protectionist agenda that he believes will strengthen the United States, despite warnings from experts about potential negative economic impacts. As the 2024 campaign heats up, these bold proposals are likely to remain a hot topic of debate.
