Former President Donald Trump threatened large tariffs on countries that don’t accept deported migrants, suggesting that his immigration and trade policy could become closely intertwined if he returns to the White House.
“The countries will accept them back, and if they don’t accept them back we do no trade with those countries and we charge them big tariffs,” Trump said Thursday at an event in Montezuma Pass, Arizona.
