Trump threatens tariffs on Canada and Mexico over border issues

Donald Trump has threatened to impose 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico until they address illegal drug and migrant crossings at the U.S. border. This announcement echoes his previous trade tactics during his first term. Trump's use of executive powers for tariffs is seen as a negotiating strategy, particularly with the upcoming review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement in 2026. Experts note that he can invoke national security to justify these tariffs. The potential tariffs could disrupt global supply chains and impact the U.S. economy. While it remains uncertain if Trump will follow through, his approach signals a return to aggressive trade policies.
