thedailybeast.com

President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 25 percent tariff on products from Canada and Mexico. This move aims to address issues related to drug trafficking and migration at the U.S. border. Additionally, Trump stated that China will face a 10 percent tariff on top of existing tariffs due to ongoing concerns about drug shipments, particularly Fentanyl. He expressed frustration over previous discussions with China. These tariffs would conflict with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which allows for duty-free trade among the three countries. Trump previously praised this agreement as a significant trade achievement.
