Trump Will Hit Mexico, Canada and China With Tariffs
Published On Jan 31, 2025, 10:04 AM
President Trump has announced plans to impose significant tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, with tariffs set at 25% for Mexico and Canada, and 10% for China. This move aims to pressure these countries to accept more deportees and curb the influx of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl, into the U.S. These tariffs echo past trade tensions from Trump's first term and may spark retaliatory measures from these trading partners.
