with mexico. if we see that trade in any way put in jeopardy or minimized, suppressed, could affect u.s. jobs as well. stand by. mark preston in for a trade war with mexico? i don t think we ll get to that point but seriously in some very precarious times right now when we have so many other problems around the world whether with north korea or fighting isis or getting more jobs in u.s., to be fighting with mexico over this issue when donald trump talked about building that wall seemed like easy thing to do, but it is not easy whether the financial burden, 10 to $15 million it would cost or physically putting it in place. what we re seeing today is diplomatic problems it s causing. did they expect this problem? foresaw this when people were
saying about this 20% tariff proposal to pay for the wall? the foreign minister is saying i m not going to respond to that until there s actually action. but i did speak just a little while ago to a mexican senator who s been very vocal against trump, and he was pointing out look, you put that 20% tax and we re not going to pay for that wall, the american consumer will be paying for that wall. then he took it one step further saying, it s not just the price of products coming into the u.s. from mexico, which by the way 80% of mexico s manufactured exports end up in the u.s. we re talking about cars, all sorts of stuff. he said it s not just going to be the american consumer, it could lbs u.s. jobs because millions of jobs depend on that free trade with mexico and if we see that trade in any way put in jeopardy or minimized, suppressed, that could affect u.s. jobs as well. all right, leyla stand by.
