President Trump threatened on November 12 to immediately double tariffs on Mexico if the country does not stop migrant caravans forming and heading toward the US border. Trump declared "MEXICO MUST STOP THEM, NOW," warning that migrants attempting illegal entry "will not be accepted" and that there would be "no leniency."

Trump linked the surge in caravan activity to Republican losses in the midterm elections, suggesting the Democratic "Blue Wave" had emboldened migrants to attempt the crossing. He said Mexican authorities, Texas officials, Border Patrol and ICE had all been notified of the ultimatum. Mexico had previously faced a 25% tariff threat from Trump over immigration and cross-border drug crime, meaning a doubling would push levies to 50% on Mexican goods.
