President Trump has announced that a 25% import tariff will be imposed on goods imported from Canada and Mexico, while a 10% tariff will apply to imports from China. As he embarks on his second term as President of the United States, Donald Trump is implementing a series of significant changes within the country. During his election campaign, he successfully promoted the slogan “America First,” which resonated with voters and contributed to his victory. In line with this agenda, he is now issuing various executive orders aimed at enhancing domestic production and increasing revenue for the U.S. government through additional tariffs on imported goods.
In this context, Trump stated that the implementation of the tariff system aims to protect the American people from the threats posed by illegal immigration and drug trafficking. He announced that a 25% tariff on goods imported from Mexico and Canada (with a 10% tariff on Canadian energy) and an additional 10% tariff on China has been enacted. This action was taken under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) due to the significant threat posed by illegal foreign nationals and the deadly drugs that endanger American lives. It is imperative that we safeguard Americans, and ensuring the security of all citizens is my responsibility as President. The influx of illegal foreign nationals and drugs across our borders must be addressed decisively.
