(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs on Mexico are set to take effect Monday as planned, the White House said Friday, even as negotiators continued to meet to try to stave off his latest push to force the U.S. ally to stem the flow of Central American migrants into the United States.

"Our position has not changed," spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told reporters in Ireland before Trump headed back to Washington from his European trip.
