Trump Proposes Tariffs on Mexico to Curb Immigration and Drug Trafficking

The former president plans to impose tariffs ranging from 25% to 100% if Mexico does not address border issues.

Trump announced his tariff proposal at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, as part of his campaign strategy ahead of the election.
The tariffs are intended to pressure Mexico to stop illegal immigration and the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.
Economists warn that the proposed tariffs could significantly increase consumer prices in the U.S., affecting everyday goods.
Critics argue that these tariffs could undermine existing trade agreements and lead to retaliation from Mexico.
The National Retail Federation estimates that such tariffs could reduce American consumer spending power by up to $78 billion annually.
