Trump has called on Mexico and Canada to do more to stop the flow of illegal immigration into the U.S.

 

President Trump signed a formal order on Saturday imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China.

Mexican and Canadian imports will be subject to a 25% tariffs until further notice. The initial start date for the tariffs is still not clear. 

Trump has called on Mexico and Canada to do more to stop the flow of illegal immigration and illegal drugs coming into the U.S.

Energy from Canada will be subject to 10% tariffs.

Trump has advocated for China to crackdown on the fentanyl that is coming into the U.S. The tariff on Chinese goods will be 10%.

"Today’s tariff announcement is necessary to hold China, Mexico, and Canada accountable for their promises to halt the flood of poisonous drugs into the United States," the White House wrote on X.

Critics of the tariffs argue that they could drive up the costs of goods for U.S. consumers.
