C10 blog post 1 talking about raising taxes on imports to help build the wall

An article from CBS News, says Thursday Sean Spicer, White House spokesman, told the news that President Trump is going to raise 20 percent of taxes on imports. This taxation is more specifically focuses on Mexico. Therefore this money could help go to pay for the wall Trump has reportedly says we are going to build on the border with Mexico. Spicer said they are going to use a "using compressive tax reforms as a means to tax imports from countries." This is a proposal that is meant to raise billions of dollars to help go to the construction of said wall in Trump's campaign. According to Spicer this choice is only one of many options about how to finance the money to build the wall. Mr. Spicer even said that President Trump is willing to work with Congress to get the job done. Even though he claims he has already figured out a way to pay for it.
