Former US President Donald Trump on Friday vowed to reverse President Joe Biden's orders on illegal border crossings.
He also vowed to impose tariffs on countries that do not stem the flow of migrants into the United States.
Recall Biden issued an Executive Order barring migrants who enter the US illegally from claiming asylum when numbers surge past 2,500 in a day.
The order also makes it easier to deport people back to Mexico.
Trump, who spoke at an event in Arizona, noted that economic measures would be adopted to halt the Migrants order.
“We have tremendous economic power… if China or some other country is behaving badly, we have things called tariffs that are so severe,” he said.
“We are going to be so tough and if a country is not going to behave, we’re going to tariff the hell out of that country,” he added, without giving details on what size or kind of tariffs he would impose.
Trump was in Phoenix for his first event since being convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up hush money paid to a porn star.
