Social media users blasted reports, citing a grower, that avocados would run out in weeks if President Trump were to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border.

“You couldn’t pick a worse time of year because Mexico supplies virtually 100 percent of the avocados in the U.S. right now,” Steve Barnard, president and chief executive of Mission Produce, told the Reuters news agency.
