Trump threatens sweeping tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada
President-elect Donald Trump has reignited controversy with threats to impose sweeping tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada as a crackdown on illegal immigration and the fentanyl crisis. Announcing plans for a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports, Trump blames these nations for issues like drug trafficking and unauthorized border crossings. While his stance aims to pressure these countries into action, experts warn such measures could trigger a trade war, raise consumer prices, and disrupt global commerce. The move mirrors Trump's previous tariff policies, which faced retaliation and sparked economic tensions worldwide.
