“On January 20th, as one of my first executive orders, I will sign all the necessary documents to impose a 25% tariff on all goods coming into the United States from Mexico and Canada, despite the ridiculous open borders,” the president-elect said. “This tariff will remain in effect until drugs, in particular fentanyl, and all illegal drugs stop invading our country!”
