The president also suggested he still plans to impose new tariffs on China but did not give any details.

Summary

Trump announced that 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will take effect on February 1, though a decision on including oil remains pending.

He justified the move by citing undocumented migration, fentanyl trafficking, and trade deficits.

Trump also hinted at new tariffs on China.

Canada and Mexico plan retaliatory measures while seeking to address U.S. concerns.

If oil imports are taxed, it could raise costs for businesses and consumers, potentially contradicting Trump’s pledge to reduce living expenses.

    Ah. You still dont understand how the US works. Send a small bribe directly to the Trump family and you can do whatever you like. I suggest using Eric Trump. If Dems are in charge send a bribe to AIPAC and they will give the dems their allowance. Either way its probably not even expensive.

      Pfft… just buy some $TRUMP crypto coin. The graft is all out in the open now.

      Also the “uncommitted” got their way and got Trump into power. So now AIPAC conspiracy stuff is just straight up antisemitism now.

        Being called an antisemite doesnt have the sting it used to. Now it just means anyone the state of Israel disagrees with in any way.
