US President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed that among his first economic measures after his inauguration in January will be an increase in tariffs on products coming from China, Canada and Mexico.
"One of my many first executive orders on January 20th will be to sign the necessary documents to impose 25 percent tariffs on all products entering the US from Mexico and Canada," Trump wrote on his Truth Social social network.
"This decision will remain in effect until drugs, especially fentanyl, and all illegal immigrants stop invading our country," Trump added.
In a separate message, he announced an additional increase in customs fees of 10 percent on products arriving in the US from China.
Trump explains his decision with the crisis in the USA, which he links to drugs and immigration.
During the campaign, Trump announced tariffs of up to 60 percent on certain Chinese products.
