Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said negotiators looking to avert Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs over illegal migration had made unspecified advances, but a Trump aide predicted the duties will take effect next week.
“Talks will continue this afternoon -- they’re not over yet -- I think they are advancing,” Ebrard told reporters in Spanish at the State Department, where he met with unspecified U.S. officials Thursday. “In the afternoon, I’ll be able to give you a more concrete update.”
