The USA President intends to apply reciprocal tariffs this 2nd April

In his joint address to American Congress early March 2025, Donald Trump revealed the plan to enforce reciprocal tariffs on April 2nd (he originally wanted it on April 1st but superstitiously tried to avoid the April Fool’ day).  “The European Union, China, Brazil, India, Mexico and Canada and countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than we charge them. It's very unfair”. After reciprocal tariffs kick in, “whatever they tax us, we will tax them”, he stated.

Donald Trump to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada to pressure their tightening the control of out-migration to the US

American President-elect Donald Trump announced to sign Executive Orders on his first day at office 20th Jan 2025 to "charge Mexico and Canada a 25% tariff on all products coming to the US", which will remain effective until drug and illegal aliens from these two countries stop flooding into the US. There are reports of a caravan of thousands Mexican immigrants heading to the Mexico-US border to enter the US before Trump taking office. The big influx of illegal immigrants to the US has been facilitated partly by the open-border policy of the Biden-Harris Administration and partly by the home-country governments’ lack of measures to discourage their out-migrants.
