Trump threatens tariffs on Canada and Mexico over border issues

dailymail.co.uk

President-elect Donald Trump announced a plan to impose a 25 percent tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada. This action is linked to his demand for these countries to stop the flow of immigrants into the U.S. border. Trump stated that the tariff would remain until illegal immigration and drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, are addressed. He emphasized that Canada and Mexico have the power to resolve these issues. Additionally, Trump plans to impose a 10 percent tariff on Chinese goods due to China's failure to act against drug dealers. He claims that drugs are entering the U.S. at unprecedented levels, primarily through Mexico.
