Trump suggests tariffs against nations, including China, over illegal immigration

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Thursday he may impose tariffs on countries, including China, that do not curb the flow of undocumented immigrants from their territory to the United States, if he wins the US election in November.

Asked about ways he would curb the flow of migrants crossing into the US illegally, Trump said: “We have tremendous economic power.” Trump said if a country, such as China, does not help to curb the flow of immigrants in to the US, “we have these things called tariffs.”
