US tariffs: Mexico responds
After threatening punitive tariffs, the US offers to help Mexico tackle illegal migrants
The Trump administration says it wants to work with Mexico to tackle illegal immigration - a day after President Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on imports from the country. Jorge Castaneda, Mexico's former foreign minister, told Newshour that Mexico will have to agree to curb illegal migration into the US to avoid the punitive tariffs.
