    What's the impact on California if Trump raises tariffs on Mexican imports?

    President Trump says he’ll slap tariffs on all Mexican goods unless Mexico stops migrants from crossing the border into the U.S. The tariffs would go into effect in 10 days and increase every month after that, up to 25%.
