Imposing Duties to Address the Situation at Our Southern Border

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order imposing a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports, citing the need to address a national emergency caused by illegal immigration and drug trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border. This action leverages the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and aims to pressure Mexico into taking stronger measures against drug trafficking organizations and illegal migration. The tariffs could escalate trade tensions and potentially lead to retaliatory measures from Mexico, impacting the economy and bilateral relations.
