Donald Trump threatens taxes on Mexican products if Mexico does not stop the flow of undocumented migrants.

Donald Trump likes to call a "fare man".
The US president has imposed import duties to address trade imbalances with China, Canada, Europe and others.
Now, it threatens tariffs on Mexico, one of the largest trading partners of the United States.
Trump says he will tax Mexican goods if he does not prevent undocumented migrants from entering the United States.
At the same time, China said the United States was solely to blame for its trade war over the past year, which had seen both countries impose tariffs on imports.

So, does Donald Trump use trade taxes as a political weapon?

And what is the impact on diplomacy?
