New York Daily News Dings 'Guac Blocker' Trump Over Mexico Tariffs
The New York Daily News on Saturday used its cover to call out President Donald Trump over America’s imminent imposition of a 5% tariff on goods coming from Mexico.
The tariff will come into effect on June 10 and remain in place until illegal immigration from across the southern border ends, Trump announced this week. The figure will also increase by an added 5% every month.
The tabloid called Trump a “Guac Blocker” over the move.
