Trump says 'good chance' of a deal to avert Mexico tariffs

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Friday that there is a "good chance" that a deal can be reached with Mexico on controlling migrants to avert the imposition of trade tariffs.

"If we are able to make the deal with Mexico, & there is a good chance that we will, they will begin purchasing Farm & Agricultural products at very high levels, starting immediately," Trump tweeted.

"If we are unable to make the deal, Mexico will begin paying Tariffs at the 5% level on Monday!," he said.
