In a series of posts to his Truth Social account, Trump said that on January 20, he will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% tariff on all products coming into the United States. He also said he would be imposing 10% tariff on all Chinese products entering the US in response to what he said its failure to tackle fentanyl smuggling.
A federal judge dismissed charges Monday against President-elect Trump for allegedly trying to steal the 2020 election, at the request of Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith.
