Want your avocados, tomatoes and berries? Trump shutdown of Mexico border could cause shortages usatoday.com

CINCINNATI — President Donald Trump has threatened to "seal" the U.S.-Mexico border to combat illegal immigration — a move that might include shutting down trade, according to multiple reports. Closing off trade would disrupt the flow of $26 billion of food imports in the U.S. from Mexico — threatening U.S. shoppers with potential shortages and higher prices for their groceries. Consumers would see the biggest impact at the produce section, which imports nearly $14 billion of fruits and vegetables from Mexico annually.
