Trump: I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States

Truth Social ^ | Nov 25, 2024 | Donald J. Trump

[McGruff]

As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before. Right now a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border.

On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!

Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!

The price of most winter fruits and vegetables will be climbing up, but it if that’s what it takes to secure the botders, I will deal with it just fine.

[SecondAmendment]

It's a bluff and the Mexicans and Canadian's won't bite, since this will just blow up prices for Americans overnight.

A much better idea would be for Trump to declare a National Emergency and immediately send troops to our borders.

I bet my baby sealskin jacket price is gonna go up

[Responsibility2nd]

It's the price of cars. Even those made in the US that will be affected...

According to recent data, a significant portion of cars sold in America are manufactured in Mexico. In 2018, approximately 15% of new vehicles sold in the United States were assembled in Mexico

This makes Mexico the second-largest source of imported vehicles for the U.S. market, after Japan.The importance of Mexican-made vehicles in the U.S. market is further emphasized by the following points:

American Brands in Mexico

Many American automotive brands rely heavily on their Mexican manufacturing operations:

• 57% of Mexican-assembled vehicles sold in the U.S. are from domestic American brands
• Some American brands, such as GMC and Ram, have about 40% of their U.S. sales coming from vehicles assembled in Mexico

Foreign Brands Manufacturing in Mexico

• 41% of the remaining vehicles assembled in Mexico and sold in the U.S. are from foreign brands with substantial manufacturing presence in the U.S., including Volkswagen, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Infiniti, Kia, and Hyundai
• Notably, two-thirds of Volkswagens sold in the U.S. in 2018 were assembled in Mexico

Recent Production and Export Data

Mexico's automotive industry continues to play a crucial role in supplying vehicles to the U.S. market:

• In 2023, auto factories in Mexico produced 3.3 million cars, with 77% of them exported to the U.S.
   
• Mexico is currently the world's seventh-largest passenger vehicle manufacturer and the top exporter of cars to the U.S., totaling $69 billion in exports in 2023

This data underscores the significant presence of Mexican-made vehicles in the American automotive market, reflecting the deeply integrated nature of the North American automotive industry.

Bullshit. To whom will they sell their fruit? They won’t. Let it rot? No. Pay the tariff and cut the price. What do you think they are making now? Much more than our farmers.

[Decombobulator]

I don’t doubt his claims about Mexico, but is there any evidence that thousands are pouring in across the Canadian border?

I would think much more drugs are flowing from the US into Canada than the reverse.

[traderrob6]

Kills two birds with one stone......Forces Mexico to comply with US priorities concerning border control and puts pressure on US car makers to bring their freakin car manufacturing back home.

[Skwor]

Total crap, when you are the largest and basically sole source buyer you set the terms, not the other way around, otherwise you are stuck with a dead product.

Enough with the GOPe rino globalist trade philosophy.

The world NEEDS access to our markets. We, the USA, do not NEED the world’s products. They need to compensate us for giving them access to our markets and for the invasion of our country they have encouraged.

[SecondAmendment]

IMHO treating a millitary invasion like a trade war does not put our country first.

Let's bring our troops home to protect OUR borders instead of everyone else's.

[BAN-ONE]

Didn’t learn anything from the last go - around, did ya..?
Turn off that tv.

[Responsibility2nd]

Well sure.

Bringing auto manufacturing from Mexico back to the US will only cost billions of dollars.

Billions which WE will pay for as the costs are passed on to us.

[imabadboy99]

the free traitors that shipped all our jobs and manufacturing base overseas are going to scream bloody murder for ‘muh corporations’

Romney and his little $$$ch Paul RYNO are not going to like this one bit.

[baclava]

[FlingWingFlyer]

They could take the money they waste on keeping illegal aliens alive and pumping oxygen and give rebates to Americans if the bass turds raise their prices.

[Gaffer]

I’d pay $5 for a nice tomato, onion, head of lettuce, etc. if it meant my border was secure and illegals did not pick them.

I buy that stuff singly, anyways and I pick the nicest ones I see.

It appears to me that we are going to continue to suffer dire consequences until Trump takes the bull by the horns and IMMEDIATELY does whatever he needs to do to get these invaders the hell out of our country. If he doesn’t, his constituency, including me, is going to turn against him by the millions! GET ‘EM OUT OF HERE MR. PRESIDENT!!

[HighSierra5]

It’s a negotiating tactic. They’ll come around. Especially if we stick to our guns.
