Trump announces tariffs on Canada and Mexico to combat illegal immigration and fentanyl flow

President-elect Donald Trump plans to impose a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico, and a 10% tariff on Chinese imports. This decision aims to address illegal immigration and the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. The inclusion of Canada in the tariff plan is unexpected, given its status as a close ally. Recent data shows a significant increase in border apprehensions between the U.S. and Canada, which may have influenced Trump's decision. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded by highlighting the strong ties between the two countries. He emphasized the potential for collaboration to tackle shared challenges amid concerns over the economic impact of the tariffs.
