President Donald Trump threatened on Thursday to impose new tariffs on Mexico if the country does not step up its enforcement actions.

美國總統唐納德?特朗普周四威脅稱，如果墨西哥不加大執法行動的力度，美國將對墨西哥徵收新關稅。

Trump said in a White House statement that the first round of tariffs would begin on June 10 at 5% "on all goods imported from Mexico."

特朗普在白宮發表聲明說，第一輪關稅將於6月10日開始，對「所有從墨西哥進口的商品」徵收5%的關稅。

The statement said Trump would carry out his threat under authority from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and that he would lift tariffs only "if the illegal migration crisis is alleviated through effective actions taken by Mexico."

聲明顯示，特朗普將根據《國際緊急經濟權力法》的授權實施他的威脅，只有「墨西哥採取有效措施緩解非法移民危機」，他才會酌情取消關稅。

The statement warned further that if Mexico did not act as Trump demanded, tariffs would go up to 10% by July, 15% by August, 20% by September and reach a permanent level of 25% by October.

聲明進一步警告稱，如果墨西哥不按照特朗普的要求行事，關稅將在7月升至10%，8月升至15%，9月升至20%，10月達到25%的永久水平。

According to the Office of the US Trade Representative, US imports of goods from Mexico totaled $346.5 billion in 2018. That includes cars and machinery as well as agricultural products.

據美國貿易代表辦公室統計，2018年美國從墨西哥進口商品總額為3465億美元。這其中包括汽車、機械以及農產品。

The President preceded the statement with a pair of tweets promising that the rising tariffs would stay in place until immigration flows are cut off.

總統在發表聲明之前發布了兩條推文，暗示他將逐步提高關稅，直到墨西哥切斷移民向美國的流入。

"On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP," Trump tweeted.

特朗普在推特上寫道：「美國將從6月10日起，對所有墨西哥輸美商品徵收5%的關稅，直到非法移民不再通過墨西哥進入美國為止。」

The announcement and tweets came on Thursday evening, which earlier Trump had teased to reporters as a "big league" announcement on immigration. The news was first reported by The Washington Post.

這一聲明和推文均是在周四晚間發布的，早些時候，特朗普曾向記者開玩笑說，這是關於移民的「大聯盟」聲明。這一消息最先由《華盛頓郵報》報道。

"We are going to do something very dramatic on the border because people are coming into our country," the President told reporters as he left the White House on Thursday morning.

總統在周四上午離開白宮時對記者表示：「由於一些人正在試圖進入我們的國家，所以我們決定在邊境採取一些十分引人注目的行動。」

Trump has threatened Mexico with tariffs in the past as he has grown frustrated with the flow of Central American migrants to the southern US border. He last made this threat in April amid another threat to close the border with Mexico. After walking back that threat, he suggested that tariffs would be a more effective means to pressure Mexico to do more.

特朗普過去曾威脅要對墨西哥徵收關稅，因為他對中美洲移民湧入美國南部邊境感到失望。他上一次發出這一威脅是在今年4月，當時他還威脅要關閉和封鎖與墨西哥的邊境。回到威脅上來，他表示，關稅將是迫使墨西哥採取更多行動的更加有效的手段。

"Before we close the border we"ll put the tariffs on the cars," Trump told reporters. "I don"t think we"ll ever have to close the border, because the penalty of tariffs on cars coming into the United States from Mexico at 25% will be massive."

特朗普告訴記者：「在關閉邊境之前，我們將對這些汽車徵收關稅。我並不認為我們非得關閉邊境，因為對從墨西哥進入美國的汽車徵收25%的懲罰性關稅，其代價將是巨大的。」

In the last several days there has been a mass of migrants apprehended crossing the border illegally. On Wednesday, a group of more than 1,000 were apprehended by the Border Patrol, which one Department of Homeland Security official said was the largest group of migrants ever apprehended together. According to the official, the migrants, made up of mostly families, turned themselves in.

在過去幾天里，有大批非法越境的移民被逮捕。周三，邊境巡邏隊逮捕了1000多名移民，國土安全部的一名官員透露，這是有史以來被集體逮捕的移民中人數最多的一次。據這名官員稱，這些移民大多是在美定居者的家庭成員，他們現在全部都被關押了起來。

There is growing frustration with Mexico in the administration. US officials are not seeing a corresponding decrease in apprehensions at the US border with Mexico as a result of the country"s enforcement actions at its own southern border.

美國政府對墨西哥的失望與日俱增。由於墨西哥在其南部邊境採取的軟弱執法行動，美國官員對美國與墨西哥邊境移民問題的擔憂正在日益上升。

If Trump makes good on a tariff threat against Mexico, it is not clear how that would affect the United States-Mexico-Canada trade deal, which the administration is pushing Congress to ratify.

如果特朗普真的兌現了對墨西哥的關稅威脅，我們目前還無法預測這將會對美墨加貿易協定造成什麼樣的影響。截至目前，特朗普政府仍在敦促國會批准這項貿易協定。

The Trump administration also recently released the principles of an immigration bill that would tighten asylum criteria and shift to a merit-based immigration system. But that plan has little chance on Capitol Hill and has been dismissed by even Republican lawmakers as more of a statement of principles than legislation intended to become law.

特朗普政府最近還公布了一項移民法案的條例，該法案將收緊庇護標準，並轉向擇優移民制度。但該計劃在國會幾乎沒有機會獲得通過，甚至連共和黨議員也對其不屑一顧，稱這充其量就是一項有關條例的聲明，而非旨在成為法律的立法。

Trump continues to be frustrated by the difficulty of changing immigration law through Congress and with the asylum process, which he has complained is rife with fraud.

特朗普進一步對難以通過國會修改移民法和庇護程序感到沮喪。他抱怨說，庇護程序中充斥著欺詐。
