President Donald Trump threatened Thursday to double tariffs on Mexico if it did not stop a migrant group of more than 1,000 people heading toward the U.S., saying on Truth Social that Mexico needed to intervene and that Texas, its governor, Border Patrol and ICE had been notified. He said the migrants were seeking to reach Texas. Reuters reported that about 1,500 people, mostly from Central America, set out Tuesday from Tapachula, near Guatemala. Trump also repeated his claim that Republicans lost the November midterms because he was not on the ballot. The warning ties trade penalties to Mexico’s handling of the group.
