President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada, and an additional 10% on Chinese products. These tariffs will take effect immediately upon his inauguration. Trump stated that these measures will remain until Mexico and Canada address illegal border crossings and drug trafficking.

Economists have raised concerns that such tariffs could increase costs for American consumers and impact global economic growth.
