President-elect Donald Trump announced that on January 20th, as one of his first executive orders, he will impose a 25% tariff on all products entering the United States from Canada and Mexico. The tariffs, he stated, will remain in effect until the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs, particularly fentanyl, into the U.S. is halted. Trump referred to the situation as an 'invasion' and aims to pressure neighboring countries to address border security issues. Additionally, he plans to impose an additional 10% tariff on all Chinese imports, above any existing tariffs. These measures are part of his efforts to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
