President Donald Trump said there’s a “good chance” the U.S. will reach agreement to avert imposing trade tariffs on Mexico and that the deal would require the country to buy more U.S. agricultural products.
But Trump also warned in a tweet on Friday that if there’s no accord, Mexico will begin paying 5% tariffs on all goods sent to the U.S. starting Monday.
