President Trump makes announcement about new tariffs

President Trump announced this evening that he has now imposed tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China because of the “major threat of illegal aliens” and “deadly drugs killing our Citizens.”

Trump says he’s done this though the IEEPA and has issued a 25% tariff on imports from both Mexico and Canada, with an exception of only 10% tariffs on Canadian energy. He has also issued a 10% tariff on China.

Below is the full announcement:

Today, I have implemented a 25% Tariff on Imports from Mexico and Canada (10% on Canadian Energy), and a 10% additional Tariff on China. This was done through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) because of the major threat of illegal aliens and deadly drugs killing our Citizens, including fentanyl. We need to protect Americans, and it is my duty as President to ensure the safety of all. I made a promise on my Campaign to stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs from pouring across our Borders, and Americans overwhelmingly voted in favor of it.
