The Trump administration floated a 20 percent tax on imports from Mexico to pay for a wall along the southern U.S. border, a plan revealed hours after Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto canceled his first meeting with the new U.S. leader.
The idea of a border tax was first proposed by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer to reporters on board Air Force One as Trump returned from a congressional Republican retreat in Philadelphia. Later in the day, Spicer amended his remarks in a meeting with reporters in his office.
