Dec 23, 2024, 11:00 AM

President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to impose tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, targeting issues of illegal immigration and the opioid crisis. Trump intends to charge a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada until the flow of drugs, particularly fentanyl, and illegal immigration is curtailed. Additionally, he plans to impose an additional 10% tariff on Chinese products, citing insufficient action from Beijing against the flow of illicit drugs into the US. These measures are part of Trump's broader strategy to address economic and security concerns, which he highlighted during his election campaign.
