Trump threatens new anti-drug tariffs on ‘day one’ for China, Canada, Mexico


US president-elect Donald Trump said on Monday that he will impose new tariffs on goods from China using an executive order on the first day of his administration, which starts on January 20.

In a series of posts on his media platform Truth Social, Trump said he would add another 10 per cent tariff to all Chinese imported goods on top of the tariffs already in place, a legacy of the US-China trade war that played out during his first term.
