El Paso business leaders anxiously await details of Trump's 25% tariffs against Mexico

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : In his first term as president, Trump used tariffs as a negotiating tool.
37% : He (Trump) may impose tariffs on a select few items, like Mexican steel or Mexican auto products, or he may impose tariffs and make them effective at a later date so more negotiations can go on," Pacheco said.
36% : That optimism largely stems from Russell's belief that Trump is unlikely to impose a blanket 25% on all Mexican products, many of which are auto parts and other products made by U.S. companies at factories in Mexico and shipped to the United States.
26% : A White House official said Friday, Jan. 31, that the Trump administration's proposed 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada would be implemented Saturday, Feb. 1. Trump has said the tariffs are sanctions against the two countries for not taking more decisive actions to halt the flow of undocumented immigrants and illicit fentanyl trafficking into the United States.
