White House formally serves notice it will hit Mexico with tariffs Monday as talks drag on
WASHINGTON - The White House filed legal notice Friday that it will impose punitive tariffs on all Mexican imports starting Monday, even as negotiations intended to resolve the standoff dragged on for a third day.
President Donald Trump and President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of Mexico expressed reserved optimism that a compromise was possible, and the legal notice could be lifted before Monday. But the two sides still have key differences on immigration and have not produced a deal.
