Trump, new tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada

Donald Trump has said he will impose new tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada in a bid to force them to crack down on illegal immigration and drug smuggling into the US.

The president-elect said that shortly after taking office on January 20, he will sign an executive order imposing a 25% tariff on all goods coming from Mexico and Canada.

He also said an additional 10% tariff would be imposed in China until the government there blocks the smuggling of the synthetic opioid fentanyl from the country.

The tariffs on Mexico and Canada will remain in place until both countries stop drugs, particularly fentanyl, and migrants crossing the border illegally, Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

"Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily resolve this long-simmering problem. It's time for them to pay a very big price!", Trump said./ CNA
