Trump's Bold Tariff Move: Targeting Canada and Mexico

US President-elect Donald Trump plans to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico. The move aims to pressure these nations to address illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Trump believes the tariffs will remain until the issues at the southern and northern borders are resolved.

US President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to implement a 25% tariff on products imported from Canada and Mexico. This measure will be one of his initial executive actions upon taking office on January 20.
