Trump plans to visit the Mexico border in California on Friday, where some aides are bracing for a possible announcement. Even though White House officials had begun deliberating, business groups expressed skepticism that any plan might work in a way that limits potential problems. President Trump talks to members of the media on the South Lawn at the White House last week. Despite the logistical and economic concerns, White House aides have said this week that Trump is serious about closing the border, even if the timing remains unclear. The United States also imports more agricultural goods from Mexico than from any other country, with $11.5 billion in fresh fruit and vegetables brought into the United States each year.
