MEXICO CITY — Your favorite Mexican beer may get more expensive, if President-elect Donald Trump carries out his threat to impose tariffs on Mexico.
Mexico makes all kinds of things the average American uses. It manufactures 88 percent of the pickups sold in America; a 25 percent tariff could add about $3,000 to the price tag of that new Ford or GM truck, Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said last week. Mexico supplies around half of America’s imported fruit and two-thirds of imported vegetables, in dollar terms — tomatoes, berries, bell peppers, cucumbers.


Well, since Mexican beer is shit, this could be a good thing.

Trump is not President. The article clearly is not talking about the actual tariffs.

Who said that he is? The article is pure speculation based on a conjecture. May. Could. If. Those are the relevant words.

Didn't you read what you posted?
