President Trump sends letters to EU and Mexico about imposing tariffs starting August 1st

More countries got letters over the weekend from President Trump, warning that stronger tariffs are on the way come August 1st.

The latest round was addressed to the European Union, along with Mexico. President Trump says both countries face 30 percent tariffs starting next month. His concerns with Mexico stem from illegal drug trafficking, something Trump claims Mexico has made little progress on.

Leaders at the EU says they have their own tariffs ready to go, saying they have remained committed to finding a deal forward.
