Trump Announces Plan to Impose 25 Percent Tariffs on Products from Canada, Mexico

President-elect Donald Trump promised Monday night that his administration will impose 25 percent tariffs on products from Mexico and Canada until they help the U.S. limit the flow of illegal immigration.

Trump announced his plan to enact the tariffs on Day One of his administration through an executive order that would be lifted once Canada and Mexico assist the U.S. with reducing illegal immigration and the flow of fentanyl into the country.

“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” Trump said on Truth Social.
