Donald J. Trump, the president-elect, announced on Monday that he would start imposing tariffs on all products entering the country from Canada, Mexico, and China on his first time in office, creating a struggle for global supply chains and high costs for businesses that rely on doing business with some of the nation’s largest economy. Mr. Trump mentioned a caravan of migrants entering the United States from Mexico in a post on Truth Social, and he said he would impose a 25 % tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico until they stopped crossing the border. This price will continue in effect until Fentanyl and all other illegal aliens prevent this country’s invasion, according to the law. the president-elect wrote. He continued,” Both Mexico and Canada have the complete right and power to remedy this long-standing issue without much difficulty.” In a split post, Mr. Trump threatened an extra 10 % tax on all products from China, claiming that the nation was sending illegal medicines to the United States.” We therefore demand that they use this energy, and until they do, it is time for them to pay a pretty big rate.” ” Members of China told me that they would institute their greatest sentence, that of dying, for any drug traffickers caught doing this but, however, they never followed through”, he said.
