*SPICER: NOT READY TO ROLL OUT BORDER TAX AT THIS TIME. BBG.
*SPICER SAYS 20% TAX COULD BE ON ANY COUNTRY WITH TRADE DEFICIT. BBG.
ForexLive: 20% import tax on Mexico goods would raise $63.4 billion (based on 2015 trade data). That's enough for 4 walls
When does Pena Nieto get on a jet to meet with Chinese leaders for bilateral trade deals ? That was Plan B , right ?
CORRECTED: Trump says agreed to cancel Pena Nieto meeting; says would be fruitless if Mexico doesn't treat U.S. fairly (not pay for wall)
Looks like meeting between President Nieto of Mexico and POTUS is canceled !
#MXN EXTENDS LOSSES AS PENA SAYS WON'T ATTEND POTUS MEETING - BBG
The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers...
of jobs and companies lost. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting.
President Nieto still coming o the US for January 31st meeting with President Trump - but say last night Mexico will not pay for the Wall.
