Trump when asked about shutting down the border.

"I've never changed my mind at all. I may shut it down at some point but I'll rather do tariffs. So Mexico, I have to say, has been very very good, you know that, over the last 4 days. Since I talked about shutting down the border

"if they continue that, everything will be fine. If they don't we are going to to tariff their cars at 25% coming into the US. So every time they make a car it's a 25% tariff. That means we make money as opposed to losing money. We probably bring those car companies back into US"

"but on the other hand if it doesn't work, which they will 100%. The tariffs will work just like they worked with steel. Our steel industry is so hot right now because of what I did with tariffs, same thing with aluminum. They'll work.

"But if they didn't work, I will close the border. I am also looking at an economic penalty for all of the drugs that are coming in through the southern border and killing our people."
