let me explain why it is important to mexico. , these mexico corruption intimate link to the privileged assignedll the systems by privilege. elections, 2000, 2012, and other years. we have different parties govern the country. we have the same privileged system. it is really interesting, mexico we expected in when we have free elections and change between parties that corruption would be reduced in the first years, but that didn't happen. so, corruption is about privilege. reason thatain explains why mexico can have the , it is law that we want the first step to force the economy and accelerate innovation in the country and make a more competitive country. corruption is the first goal for mexico for those reasons. goal, is not just another it is the most important one. explains why the people choose -- povertynd goal is about . let me say in other words it is the idea that it is going to have50 or 60 years the opportunity to be the middle class in our country. 52 million people in poverty. same trendsain the in the country, they are going to spend more than four years in toer to have th

let me explain why it is important in mexico, because in mexico, corruption is intimately linked to the privileged system. by system is the same privilege. we have free elections several 2012, other000, years. partiesdifferent governing the country, but we have the same privileged system. is really interesting, because we expected in mexico that women have free elections and change between parties, the corruption would be reduced in the first years. that didn't happen. so corruption is about privilege, inequality. reason that explains why in mexico we don't have the rule of law that we want, it is a first step in order to foster the economy, accelerate the innovation of the country, and make a more competitive country. corruption is the first goal for this government for those reasons. in mexico, it is not just gaol.er oal. it is the most important one. this goal explains why the people choose lopez obrador. is aboutd goal poverty. let me say it in other words. it is about dissatisfaction about poverty and the idea that it is going to take maybe 50 or generations, in order to have the o

we enter mexico. when you go into mexico, the mexican authorities were telling us, this is coming from them, they said they tell us, as long as you're going through and not staying here and your intentions to go to the united states, about ahead and continue. mexican authority would hand pick some individuals, say certain one of we have to take in and we have to deport. connell: should we have better metric, seems like we didn't put a number on it, maybe that is on purpose but should we put a number on all of this? this particular report i cited, mexican government would use something like that. we're deporting more people to central american countries than the united states is. you could skew the data anyway you want, because more people are coming through mexico, i get that. should we put a number from our side, listen, here is the number we need to see from you guys. you are hear. need to be here. what do we need to see from them? >> i think it is obvious you said it best right now. you can mess wi

we raised to the middle class in mexico. in the south of mexico we have 62 communities. there whittington several years ago, for opportunity. for instance, their health system is the worst in the country. educational system is not working, and the most important part, they used to think they could wait for a new situation in the next 30 or 40 years. nothing acceptable about that. that used to be when mexico signed an agreement in the '90s. and never happened. we need to open another process to give them an opportunity. access to internet, the third of all is how can we force to give the economy grow. we need to add value to our economy, we need innovation, we need to solve all problems, we need to use tools also, new ideas in order to increase our capacity to our value. is that possible, sure. but we need to do more than just wait, with defined solutions for the markets, we will debate, it's more about what if we hav investment money together, and the same future of the country in a prohibition about innovation and energy. we have an idea that mexico can grow faster than

dagen: it is, you talk about avocados largely come from mÉxico. >> mÉxico. dagen: it's produce, it also hurt hurt exports from our farmers who have been hammered by the fight that we've gotten into with china and the supply chain for automobile manufacturers incredibly complicated between mÉxico and the united states and it just simply disrupts business, jonas, makes it harder to operate and create jobs, does it not? >> it's not that trump is wrong and they should be doing more so we don't have to, but that doesn't necessarily mean, look, avocado point, the mexican government can't keep the mob out of the avocado people and can't people across the border nor our military that are less corrupt than police. dagen: mÉxico deported more central americans this year than the united states have, so they are trying to do something to prevent the flow of illegal immigrants into the u.s. turning to vice president mike pence, he sat down with exclusive interview in ottawa, canada yesterday moments after joint conference with canadian prime minister justin trudeau whe

and mexico. look at the number of imports and how much it's grown over the last five or six years in terms of vehicles coming into the u.s. from plants in mexico. almost 2.7 million last year and in terms of automakers this year and how many they've imported from mexico, gm leads by far more than a quarter million. but you see also a sizable presence from fiat chrysler nissan and volkswagen and that's why when you take a look at shares of the auto sector today, three in particular stand out. we're talking about gm, fiat chrysler and nissan. they have the most production in mexico in terms of vehicles built there and then shipped back to the u.s. >> how does the mexico announcement impact america's global trading relationships overall? kayla tausche has that breakdown in washington. kayla. >> reporter: well, sara, the relationship with mexico appears to remain intact its president today with a measured response saying it intends to move forward with the ratification of the usmca. and mexico's fore

mexico with the new president? i'm sure he wants to prove his strength there. >> well, first, this does nothing to help the immigration issue. secondly, you know, mexico's been quite restrained. the new president has not said anything terribly negative about the president talking about the wall, the immigration coming in, mexico not doing enough. he's been restrained but now, you know, his back is against the wall mexico is going to have to retaliate if we pursue this foolish policy and it's going to affect our economy, it's going to affect the border mexico is going to put sanctions on our products too and what's going to happen with the mexico agreement? it has to be ratified by the mexican senate the president of the mexican senate and what if the mexican senate says we have to start striking back at the united states we've been rather restrained in these insults that president trump has sent us, this policy he's sending, he's defying us. so i don't understand this strategy and it helps nothing with immigration,

and mexico. an analyst talking about the risk factor of mexico, a lot of people thought that had gone away. usmca, not ratified by congress, but has been negotiated. also looking at the company that would be affected by this. automakers, transporters affected. kansas city southern down the most since december. mexico generates about 48% of their revenue. some companies really exposed that way. david: auto parts you would expect given what is going on with the u.s. and mexico. are there any save par verse year? ?- safe harbors here exposedu may have those to mexico and those that are exposed to china. we are talking about very large global markets. of course, the usual havens. gold is doing better today. david: and bonds. many thanks to emma chandra. tonight, catch the full interview with the huawei founder and ceo, "huawei: connected and contested." live from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪ jonathan: from new york city, i'm jonathan ferro. yield" startsl right now. coming up, fresh trade tension

in mexico city where officials are scrambling to teadeal with the mexico surprise. president trump threatening tariffs in a bid to control illegal immigration. stock futures are deep in the red dow futures are down 236 points, and of course as we have noted. futures at this hour have tended to understate recent market moves. now we're weak across the board, and all this coming in an already weak and declining stock market may has been the worst month of the year, the worst month since december buyers as they sell here are flocking into bonds yet again, and the yield on the ten-year treasury note, wow, all the way down to 2.56%. we're seeing the five-year go under 2% as well that is the lowest level from the ten-year in just about two year's time. stocks in mexico are likely to take this move politically hard. our trade with mexico is far larger than trade with china the big u.s. etf to watch is that, it is the eww down 7.5% right now in the premarket you also need to watch currencies, the mexican peso u.s. dollar relationship that is an inverse relationship, so that

mexico say okay, don't have to let them into america. push them back into mexico. if mexico did that, said that, there would be no tariffs. it is easier for them to get around it, isn't it? >> well, let's start by saying could be the tipping point of u.s.-mexico relationship, because the pain will be on both sides. there is a lot of worry here in mexico by these actions. it is not as simple as you mentioned, stuart. stopping this flow of central american people through mexico is a challenge. i think that the mexican government has tried to address it. obviously here you have another populist government as well as in the u.s. mr. lopez obrador is concerned about human rights elements on his action but i think at this moment, you know, a lot of action needs to be done on both places. stuart: gaston, it would not take much to satisfy president trump, that mexico's government is trying to do something. it wouldn't take that much you know. >> well i think that the government is doing -- the border is an issue. there is lot of leaking in that border. obviously there is a

avocados for mexico. this is bloomberg. ♪ lisa: a threat is rippling through a wide range of industries including the avocado market. we have spent more time talking about avocados today than we have in a year. a california-based company has plants in mexico, four of them and 20 in the u.s. just talk about how great it is that we have an avocado stock? go long on avocados. in fairness, they dominate the production to such a degree that there are outside fx there, sort of like tequila or tomatoes. romaine: we had a lot of other stocks fall today because we did have -- we do have a big manufacturing footprint down there including lighting and industrial companies. basically, half of the plants are in mexico. you have learned and others and gopro or contractor. -- or contour which just that they were moving away from mexico into latin america and china. joe: the difference is that the vast majority of people have never heard of these brands so it may not have the residence in pop culture that an avocado do

but to mexico will respond if the u.s. imposes tariffs -- mexico will respond if the u.s. imposes tariffs. the president seems to be hardening his trade stances. they could be threatening to not share intelligence with the u.k. if the u.k. does not ban while away from their 5g networks -- huawei from their 5g networks. mark: i don't want to speculate. there is three layers of impact. this is why it will be so painful. we are going to prices in over the days ahead. -- price this in over the days ahead. there is the direct impact with the two countries involved, mexico and the u.s. please apply trade is one of the most liquid markets -- the supp ly trade is one of the most liquid markets. trump is willing to risk a severe deterioration in the equity markets. that was one of the things that traders were still clinging on to. this is sending the exact opposite message. is no reason why this fall in equities should stop anytime soon. paul: the rationale from the white house was the immigration crisis at the southern border. is there more to this? mark: i don't want to get too f

imports from mexico. if these tariffs go into place going all the way up to 25%, these are the products that could get tariffed. it is our second largest supplier of goods, $346 billion. up 60% from 2008. u.s. imports from mexico account for 13.6% of overall u.s. imports. what we are talking about is vehicles. electrical machinery, mineral fuels, optical and medical instruments. why you are seeing a repeat is because a lot of products -- the parts of products that get made in united states get some of their products from mexico. then they are added here in the united states, especially car parts, sent back to mexico, sent back to the united states. you are seeing a repeat of exports and imports because these are the parts that go back and forth between our countries. mike in ohio, independent. good morning to you. caller: good morning, greta. that last guy from florida is a perfect example of why we are in trouble. we have legal immigration, not illegal immigration. legal immigration is when you come over

>> no doubt about it basically mexico and china compete. when mexico wins, china loses. when china win, mexico loses the one who won the most is president xi jinping xi jinping was under pressure in china because some of his teams were accusing him of having misjudged the united states in the trade negotiations so yesterday he could go back to the people and say china did not make any concessions to the united states and got the same result as mexico, so china won so yes, without a doubt yesterday was a great day for china. >> all right we'll leave it there gentlemen, michelle, thank you all very much. frls tunl e into "closing bell"t 4:00 for an interview with the head of mexico's trade and nafta office and here is what is still ahead on "the exchange" -- >>> coming up, a may to forget will this month's big downturn be a buying opportunity or are we setting up for more pain? plus with nearly 3 million autos imported from mexico to the u.s., investors are fleeing the sector today we'll look at what the potential new tariffs could mean for the industry and falling flat on

and mexico. what do you do with the auto stocks now >> right now it would seem late to sell them at this point they already have taken a hit and they have been -- they have shown weakness on a number of lines. we would have to think this, that this is likely leading to a crescendo. there is not a heck of a lot more you can do it becoming -- administration is becoming a one trick pony in terms of its approach to settling the trade dispute. it is by raising another tariff. the market doesn't like it, it is very clear that it is stating that the amazing thing we have to say is that the market is as off as little as it has been since the first tweet on may -- may 5th as i recall and the irony is on april 30th, we were at record highs in the s&p 500. we drifted, what, we're down 6% from those highs at this point, and adding greater percentage lower now. we have to think this is ultimately is resolved, it has been pointed out not only on this desk, but by other commentators, this costs the american con

you have mexico now with more than four million vehicles being built in mexico. it is now the number six country in the world in terms of auto production that is not changing that's not changing any time soon >> phil lebeau, thank you. >> peter navarro joined us to discuss the president's decision to threaten tariffs on mexico saying investors in wall street should look at the move calmly take a listen. >> look at this calmly look at what we're trying to do. this is actually a brilliant move by the president to get mexico's attention, to get them to help us so far they've been standing by and they really have the power to help. the two institutions that had the power to help us is the mexican government and congress. >> with us now to break this down, former deputy assistant trade representative matt gold as well as global chief market strategist gentlemen, good morning to you both matt, i'll start with you. mexico, the u.s.'s second largest supplier of goods and imports. your reaction to the comments from peter navarro >> look, peter navarro wouldn't recognize a

mca and that's a plan that keeps people in mexico because it raises wages in mexico. it's not a plan actually that increases corporate profits, so trump has a good plan. we don't want to mess that up because that's going to do more. the actual policing in mexico which is crooked is never going to actually do a whole lot to keep people out more than they are already doing. >> from a market standpoint, david i'm confused and baffled by this whole thing. you lift the steel and aluminum tariffs in preparation for the passage of u.s. mca. the markets like that and they say the president is really going to focus on china and take that on and be really solid about it and fix some of the other problems we're having with our trade issues and then you go and threaten to potentially put this tariff on, which would impact a lot of the same goods. that's why the autos were down today because of steel and aluminum, so the market was down substantially today it was the worst may that we've had since 2010, it was a bad month. you saw the nasdac down 8% the dow is down 6.5% and invest

and mexico. it's kind of crazy because when you think about it, mexico owns some of the biggest oil reserves in the world, yet they fail to produce enough really to supply their own people and yes, they do export oil to us, mainly so we can turn it into gasoline and sell it back to them. so if we are going to tariff, for example, the oil coming into this country, you know, we will sell it back to them, they are going to have to buy it back at a premium. i really don't think that's a major impact because it's going to go around in a circle. natural gas is another thing that we send a lot of that to mexico as well. i think what's going on with the oil is more about the fallout from the trade war situation and how it's going to slow the economy globally. that's what the market's pricing in. they are also pricing in that the trump administration seems to change their mind every five minutes. there's a lot of concern in the market that the trump administration is going to grant some type of waivers to

it happened in mexico. trump says it's down to immigration as the main reason but there must be there's also it's ties in very much with his protectionist mode with his stance that he takes on these things so i think it was kind of inevitable at some point that it would be political would also translate into economic measures now only of course we see the united states there in trade conflicts with mexico with china of course what's europe the financial world and europe making of all this. well what clever just said the economical trade issue morphing into the political that really raised eyebrows here it's kind of a new dimension and condiments to talk to says that will probably stay that way it will probably stay true trumps policy until the economy goes downhill and perhaps the market as well weathered and he can rescue those things so to speak with a deal in time for the presidential election 2020 but it surely put the markets into a shock mode chairs tumbling chairs like volkswagen and fee at fry's are

but to put a fine point on what patrick is laying out and how mexico is responding, mexico's president, as patrick was alluding to, saying in their response, the statue of liberty is only an empty symbol. that coming from america's close ally and greatest number one trading partner today. patrick, thank you so much. let's talk about everything that patrick and kaitlan were laying out. what are we talking about when you're looking at tariffs on goods coming from mexico into the u.s.? it's a wide range and can impact almost everyone. christine romans is here. she's taken a closer look at all of it. what are we talking about? >> just about any kind of product you would use, quite frankly. we import so much from mexico. what do we buy? last year, almost $350 billion worth of goods. patrick is so right to point out vehicles. vehicles is a big part of that. cars and trucks and auto parts. and in fact, when you look at that number that shows $93 billion in imports, it's a little deceiving because some of the things we're bringing in from mexico started in the u.s. in the first place. by one e

into mexico. we are at the new york stock exchange with all the action. >> the president is now going forward with trent to get mexico to fix the flow of immigrants, illegal immigrants coming to this of the border. the chief of staff says this menstruation asked congress for help and it did not help. they went on break instead. we hope we can get mexico to stop the flow of illegal immigrants. the tariffs have been imposed in stages, june 10 will be when the tariffs will be added to everything across the border. july 1 goes up to 10%, the 15th it goes up 50%, on august 1 topping out at 25% on october 1. the white house says these tariffs will not go in effect in what used to go forward with the alleys of the president and congress. the key republicans questioning this move. the trade policy and border security are separate issues. it's a misuse of presidential capability and a national content. some republican senators are saying this could put both for the u.s. mta ratification in jeopardy advice

mexico has to help the u.s. or they'll pay a very heavy price. >> we're asking mexico to enforce their own laws to help stop the people coming in from central america. we've seen a massive influx of people coming in from that region. they have the ability and the legal authority in which to deal with it. we're asking them to do that. >> as for mexico's president, he has a strong take on this as well. he almost appears to be questioning the validity of national sovereignty. he says president trump says social problems are not resolved with taxes or coercive measures. he says the statue of liberty is not an empty symbol. the slogan america first is a fallacy. even until the end of time, justice and universal fraternity will prevail above national borders. wow! on capitol hill, a bitter push back from republicans. joni ernst, from iowa, saying this. it's clear that we need to address the unprecedented flow of immigrants and it's imperative that mexico do their part to stop the stream of these migrants. that being s

how will mexico really —— react? hip, policy by tweet. how will mexico really -- react? clearly, this is driving all nations to be more nationalistic. you start looking after your own voters rather than looking at cross—border rates. inevitably, we will see further reactions from mexico going forward. you wrote about the three years ago and almost predicted this was going to happen before president trump came to power. what's feeding it? we have had a stagnation in productivity and that has led to modest wage growth. people are voting against the status quo for change was up they don't know what's right but they just change was up they don't know what's right but theyjust don't change was up they don't know what's right but they just don't want the current position to carry on so we are entering a period where politicians can announce these things and data further support. politicians can announce these things and data further supportm america going to be able to withstand this assault on all sides? is there going to be a trade war with china, they are in the midst of

we want to work with mexico. that's why the president has been asking for months for mexico to engage, to step up to do more. we're going to build the wall, secure or border, and the president is going to do what's necessary to protect the american people. >> what have they said about the subject in the past? >> we have been giving advanced warning for months. we have asked them repeatedly and told them, they have to do more. let's not forget that the average individual that crosses over the southern border of mexico, it takes 21 days before they reach the united states border. that gives them three weeks in which to break up particularly these large groups. just this week, we had over 1,000 people that moved as a massive group through mexico and came to our border untouched. they could have easily broken up this group, arrested them or sent them back home, and they didn't do anything. we're asking mexico to enforce their own laws, to help stop the people coming in from central america. we have seen a massive inf

unless mexico secures side of our border. in stops illegal immigrants in mexico no matter their national origin and stop altogether the influx of illegals and america. so how has mexico and its government responded their foreign minister is on his way to washington d.c. obviously seeking talks on the issue. the reaction of corporate america was swift. the business media, wall street, the radical dems all howling in protest of tariffs. the chamber of commerce going so far as to try and trump. our number one goal is to make sure the tariffs don't go into effect. we're trying to persuade the white house not to pursue this. at the same time, we're exploring what legal actions we have. and there are legislative actions on capitol hill. >> the chamber of horrors, it's called with the audacity, audacity to take it's part in working against the national interest of the truly elected president of the u.s. chamber of commerce, institution of incredible arrogance and ignorance. the republican establishment spent the president would do e

caravans from mexico. people coming from in africa, cubans coming in, people from venezuela coming in. mexico has mexico has basically border intervention between us and them, their southern border. doing nothing effectively to stop this. this is real crisis, humanitarian. we're dealing with that. charles: president trump's tweets were ambiguous what exactly would be the benchmarks. what does the white house need to see from mexico to say we know you're doing a lot more? a few months ago it felt like mexico was stepping up to the plate but apparently that was short-livedded. >> that was short termer. they sent 300 illegal crossers home. what i would like to see, the president didn't iterate this clearly, but what i would like to see, mexico immediately adopt a safe safe state policy. if you're coming from congo, venezuela, cuba, or the northern triangle, the first safe state for asylum is in mexico itself. mexico can keep them there while they apply pour asylum into the united states. people should apply i

announcedtrump's terrace on mexico -- tariffs on mexico. u.s. stocks limping to the worst week in months while treasuries build on the rally. we have all that and more coming up. lisa: let's get a check on the markets. it has been an ugly day, although unclear to see how ugly we will end up. the russell 2000 i wanted to highlight because it has been underperforming the broader indexes which i think is interesting because it was more immune to trade wars. that was the idea earlier in the year. last year. not so much this month. scarlet: one argument could be smaller companies may not have as much ability to house on the cost -- pass on the cost to consumers. people say they are more expensive than the big caps. lisa: gold having its best day since january 25. copper lowest since january 3. lowestar yields at the level since 2016. scarlet: we keep saying five basis points every day but it keeps grinding lower. let's take a closer look at the action with our reporters. abigail, get us started. abigail: let's look at the railroads. this sector of th

border, the boot heel of new mexico, groups ranging to 400 in size. what hasn't change reasonable doubt the extreme risks of the migration cycle and the fact that the people who benefit from it most are criminal organizations. many come to the dangerous and dehumanizing system of stash houses. criminal who are not interested in their safety or humanity. thes of their journey result in 1,500 deaths a year in mexico and the u.s. border. last week a raft capsized, several were rescues but four died including a 10-month-old and a 5-year-old child. yesterday they found a mother and an infant wandering the desert. they were just a few hours away from succumbing to the almosts. migrants are paying them thousands of dollars to be treated this way. smugglers charge between $5,000 to $7,000 per person for the journey. the impact of these friends are severe and worsening. for the security of our borders from honduras to canada for lawful trade and travel, for our communities suffering from illicit drugs and criminals profiting from the most vulnerable. most fund

if the ploy works and he gets mexico, the president gets mexico to crack down on those people coming across the country illegally, then it will be a big success. if we end in a trade war as we have with china, not so good. >> shepard: of course, nothing has happened. it's talk, talk only unless and until that changes. but the effect of this, whether for the good or bad or by design or not is that the discussion from two days ago, the mueller report is sidelined and it's about tariffs, this is a president that is very good about narrative and the narrative has changed. >> no question about it. the president at times as you point out, chooses to create one controversy to distract from another controversy. i have to say, this is quite a controversy. the stock market going down 300 points. you know, you have republican senators and some conservative pro republican business groups and companies all crying out about it, it's a pretty damaging bright shiny object. >> shepard: and when the chamber of commerce weighs in, in the past, historically over my 20, 30 years, republicans tend to list

migrants from mexico stop. the u.s. president signaling he's ready to keep raising those tariffs until he's satisfied mexico has done enough on border security what he's trying to stop more and more people have been coming process of an u.s. border over half a 1000000 since october 28th tain many of them come from central america through mexico to the u.s. . one of the biggest things they can do is the repatriation of thousands of people coming from central america they could return them back home they can stop these massive caravans from coming through their country into ours mexico is vowing restraint its president promising to send a delegation to washington to do it deals but. i think that in the end president trump will realize that this isn't the best way to work things out. he simply have to sort of if that's because mexico is the u.s. is most important tried. so this route will be watched closely by main street and wall street alike let's get the very latest on this story with our correspondent all over

were mexico's foreign minister as had 1st been all rob lowe joins us live from mexico city metro what is the reaction been there in mexico in official dialogue has yet to take place between officials in mexico and in the united states until now all of the dialogue that we've heard has taken place mainly on social media fully those statements on on thursday evening by president trump those threats to impose tariffs on mexico there was a letter sent via twitter by mexican president lopez obrador calling for a renewed dialogue we once again heard from president obama there during a morning press conference on friday take a listen. sit on the side of i believe this measure will be further analyzed by the united states government i believe that president trump will understand that this is not the way to solve things i think that there will be a correction if not right away at some point because these measures are neither in the interest of mexicans nor united states citizens us and at the moment the mexican foreign minister marcello dodd is on his way to washington d.c. to continue that di

what we trade with mexico and what we receive from mexico is a lot of what's called intermediate goods, products made from other stuff. we might get crude oil from mexico that gets molded into a dashboard that gets sent back there to get assembled and then sent back up to be put into a car. that's a massive distinction between that and what we do with china which is buy their final products. >> our very low employment rate is a feather the president wears in his cap, and he can. but steve, he's now claiming the tariffs will produce a massive return of jobs back to the united states. how and where would that happen? >> well, it's a little hard to figure out exactly how that happens. there's there's a couple of things that would happen before that. as with china, manufacturers could move to other countries. one of the ironies that's sinking into the "c" suite in companies this morning, they were going to move to mexico. i guess they're not moving to mexico now. we'll see if that happens. they were going to move to vietnam. so that's the first reaction that some companies would do. other

we have low growth in mexico here as it is. mexico could go below 1% this year. you kick off a tier four trade more, and mexico could hit a recession. directly,mpact mexico close to 80% of trade with the u.s.. and companiescts are the ones taking the biggest hit on the stock arc it. vonnie: -- stock market. vonnie: why is the community so surprised? president trump is always going to play hardball. so is the market reacting negatively and so immediately? sarah: previous tariffs while they seem dramatic were well telegraphed. this move against exit call -- usmca is against the which they were trying to advance to congress. even if you get it to u.s. congress, it won't take effect until all the country sign it and there is the prospect that if mexico may not sign the deal and except tariffs on goods for a different reason. iscame out of nowhere and it the mixing of the trade policy with tariffs and the immigration policy with tariffs, which is a different issue. that mixing is at a whole new level in trump rosie trade war's -- trump's trade war's. vonnie: thank you

that stunned mexico's president and even wall street. the dow sunk and the s&p 500 slid 37 and the nasdaq was off 115. may was the worst month. the dow and s&p 500 dropped 6.5%. the nasdaq was off 8%. despite the uproar, the president push comes on a week when the border wall agents nabbed more than 1,000 illegal immigrants. the largest at one time. we begin with kevin cork at the white house. >> an administration official told me the president was incensed after he saw that video that showed hundreds of foreign nationals just streaming across our southern border this week. that's when the tough talk about illegal immigrants shifted to tariffs threat. president trump is threatening to slap new tariffs on all goods coming from mexico unless its government stems the flow of mass migration. the tariffs go into effect and will increase. >> we are asking mexico to help stop the people coming from their region. they have the ability and the legal authority in which to deal with. it we are asking them to do that. >> for mexico there is a strong

they build ram trucks down in mexico again, high-value vehicles that come from plants in mexico into the united states. also look at the asian auto stocks, all of them under pressure overnight, not only because of mexico, but obviously what's going on with china nissan is one of these in here, even though it's unchanged today, a huge importer of vehicles from plants in mexico bottom line is this, guys -- the average vehicle right now, what you and i pay at a dealership when we go out, on average is about $34,000. you know it doesn't take much. 5% of $34,000, you're adding another $1,700 onto that vehicle, and that's just the average. we're not talking about people paying $45,000, $55,000 for a vehicle or a new pickup truck, so it could go substantially higher, and that's just at 5%. >> all right, phil you're right thanks let's talk to someone that we've talked to about tariffs before joining us with reaction on the new threat of tariffs on mexico is former commerce secretary under president obama, bill daley. and bill, we've talked about fair is foul, foul is fair we're not sure whic

al interior de méxico la cosa es seria. activistas que acompañan a los viajeros centroamericanos están siendo detenidos a diestra y siniestra. ulyses comparte que en méxico ha tenido que evadir a las autoridades mexicanas, donde dice, hay una verdadera persecución. ulyses: agarraron a mi compañero walter cuello. Él era uno de los que venía apoyándonos con un megáfono. también ya pues, fue deportado. más adelante agarran al compañero también david. veníamos con una persecución enorme que nos venían vigilando, tomándonos fotografías. carmen: walter y david son los hondureños voluntarios asociados con "pueblos sin fronteras" de quienes les hablamos antes. a david, dice ulyses, le fue muy mal. ulyses: lo golpearon-- lo golpearon, sacándole verdades por quién trabajamos, quién éramos. a él le enseñaron fotografías tanto mías y de otros compañeros y videos de que habían sido tomados en la ciudad de veracruz sayula, donde estábamos en asamblea con las personas para indicarles cuál era el riesgo depen

that becomes a big issue for mexico. this is different from the united states of america, because they have decreed from very early on that federal land that is not given up belongs to the federal government, the nation. it doesn't belong to the indians. law, ito and in spanish did belong to the indians that we have got to figure out how to get it back to them because we have processes. education is a big issue, got to run a republic with education. we will talk a bit about this but this gives it -- island of the blue dolphins story, fast-changing pacific world, international issues, --hnological, all sorts of the opium war in china, what we talked about last time. onre is a lot of stuff going in the pacific. these are instabilities. in the midst of these, the united states of mexico is kind of charting its way through this. we are a territory of the united states of mexico, the sort of lagging inhat is some ways but we have opportunities maybe they don't have in mexico city and stuff like that because we are a wide-open

it happened in mexico. trump says it's down to immigration as the main reason but there must be there's also it's ties in very much with his protectionist mode and with his stance that he takes on these things so i think it was kind of inevitable at some point that it would be political would also translate into economic measures now only of course we see the united states there in trade conflicts with mexico with china of course what's europe the financial world and europe making of all this. well the cover just said the economical trade issue morphing into the political that really raised eyebrows here it's kind of a new dimension and condiments to talk to says that will probably stay that way it will probably stay true trumps policy until the economy goes downhill and perhaps the market as well with it and he can rescue things so to speak with a deal in time for the presidential election 2020 but it truly puts markets into a shock mode chairs tumbling chairs like volkswagen and fia frizer auto makers lik

it was only last april when president from to close the us mexico border if if mexico didn't do more to stem the flow of migrants this may be one of the reasons why we're not hearing more of a response maybe one of the reasons why so many other officials haven't seemed to take the threat these were new threats very seriously and president trump is saying that mexico could be doing more to stem the flow of migrants but is this the case. it's interesting the president would say that mexico is not doing enough given that mix the mexican government has even departed from its own policies departed from its own mandate to provide more assistance under the new mexican administration to central american migrants they've increased the tensions at mexico's southern border with water malo they've. been forcing u.s. policy accepting central american asylum seekers back into mexico to await the asylum process here instead of providing that assistance that the mandate called for under the administration of of president lopez obrador as well as as departing away from talking about the president uni

unlawful migration through mexico. fourth, to deepen and strengthen regional partnerships to address the root causes of migration from security to economic growth and governance. from a department of homeland security perspective, we will continue efforts to support border security and legitimate trade and travel. in march, former secretary nielsen signed the first of its kind agreement with guatemala and honduras. this will help focus each country's efforts targeting cartels and gangs who have profited off of migration by expanding our operational collaborations. canframework for how we work with governments to ensure immigration is well-managed and legal by improving border controls, stopping smuggling, and protecting vulnerable immigrants, also helping receive and reintegrate citizens. we remain committed to implementing it. combating human trafficking and smuggling, countering gangs, expanding our information and intelligence sharing, and strengthening air, land, and maritime border security. more broadly, creating

rick: we are a territory of mexico. much like the united states of america had a system in which territories can become states, mexico has a system in which territories can become states. a big issue is population. we don't have that level of population so we are a territory. we get to elect our governor? we don't elect our governor. the governor is sent to us but we have a local legislature. this is where we are. 1824 to 1846 is when the united states of america comes into take us over. so we basically have a 22 year period we are sort of focusing on. not a huge long period, but it is very important in the history of the united states of america and of mexico. they are both sort of flourishing and developing in north america. that is what i want to talk about. canadians, we don't care about canadians. they are monarchists or something up there. but there are really interesting things going on down here. i shouldn't say that. does canada watch c-span? i don't know.

migrants from mexico stop. the u.s. president signaling he's ready to keep raising those tariffs until he satisfied mexico has done enough on border security what he's trying to stop more and more people have been coming across the southern u.s. border over half a 1000000 since october 28th tain many of them come from central america through mexico to the u.s. one of the biggest things they can do is the repatriation of thousands of people coming from central america they could return them back home they can stop these massive caravans from coming through their country into ours mexico is vowing restraint its president promising to send a delegation to washington to do a deal could present is true i think that in the end president trump will realize that this isn't the best way to work things out. we simply have to sort of if that's because mexico is the u.s. is most important tried pot so this route will be watched closely by main street and wall street alike let's get the very latest on this story with our co

mexico will not take it lying down. translation: i tell all mexicans to be confident that we will overcome this behaviour from the us government. they will have to correct themselves because the mexican people do not deserve to be treated like this. all these trucks are crossing from mexico to the us. a few months ago, a few people hung their heads in horror when president trump threatened to shut this border. he could not and he did not. yet again, people living on either side of the border are asking the same questions. can he do it? will he do it? and if he does, what does it mean for me? ever—increasing tariffs mean they will pay more for products from fresh produce to machinery to cars. it will affect american consumers. for example, toyota tacomas from the north american continent are produced in tijuana. those go back and forth about four times for content and product so it is good cross—border trade. but those prices will go up 5% or 10%, ultimately 25% and the american consumer pays that, not the government
