He attributes this decision to the fight against illegal migration, drug smuggling, and crime, which pose a threat to the United States.
Donald Trump is planning to impose a 25 percent duty on all imports from neighboring Mexico and Canada until, according to him, the problems with drug trafficking and illegal border crossings are resolved.
In addition, he proposes an additional 10 percent tariff on goods from China, citing the lack of results in the fight against fentanyl supplies to the United States.
These steps are part of a broader strategy of economic and border control that Trump promises to implement at the beginning of his new presidential term.
He also expresses dissatisfaction with cooperation with China, arguing that previous agreements to strengthen the fight against drug trafficking have not been implemented.
