President Trump is serious about getting down to business, and he’s not waiting for Day One. He’s getting going nearly two full months before Day One with the announcement of two sets of tariffs, one against China and the other against Mexico and Canada.
President Trump first announced the move against Canada and Mexico on Truth Social.
As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before. Right now a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border. 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. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!
President Trump is willing and ready to deal a crushing blow to these two disloyal “allies” on our borders. Make no mistake, this move will crush both of their economies, which are highly dependent on exports to the United States, which remains one of the largest and most crucial markets on Planet Earth. Mexico and Canada are now in for a world of hurt, and we expect them to scramble quickly to rectify their mistakes on our borders.
President Trump then took aim at CHY-NA on Truth Social.
These radical America First moves are incredibly timely and powerful for setting the tone that President Trump stands ready to deliver on the mandate he was recently handed in the most recent election.
