American Toughness: Trump Threatens 20% Tax on Mexican Products

President Donald Trump is supporting a 20 percent tax on imports from Mexico to pay for the border wall. 

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said on Thursday that it would be a tax on Mexican imports, but added that it would be part of a broader tax reform that would tax all imports.

Earlier on Thursday, Mexican President Nieto cancelled his meeting with President Trump to discuss payment of the border wall.
