Comment on USA | Trump threatens to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China on first day in office

“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 inveigling of the American public needs to stop, and democrats need to start absolutely flooding every single media outlet possible with rebuttals. You don’t charge a foreign country tariffs, you charge your own country the tariffs; but the deceptive phrasing here is an intentional misleading of people who don’t understand global economics.
