Trump's statement on social media:
As we all know, thousands of people are entering the United States through Mexico and Canada, bringing unprecedented crime and drug problems. Currently, a caravan of thousands is departing from Mexico, seeming unstoppable, aiming to cross our now open border.
On January 20, I will sign all necessary documents to impose a 25% tariff on all products entering the United States from Mexico and Canada as one of my first executive orders, until this ridiculous open border issue is resolved.
This tariff will remain in effect until the invasion of our country by drugs, especially fentanyl, and all illegal immigrants stops! Mexico and Canada have every right and capability to easily resolve this long-standing issue. We hereby demand that they utilize this capability until they do so, or they will pay a very high price!$THETA
