Trump Revives No-Nonsense Trade Policies with 25 Percent Tariffs on Canada and Mexico

The good old days of Donald Trump taking a no-nonsense approach to trade are officially back. Just a few days after taking a seat in the Oval Office, Trump made it clear that he’d had enough of Canada’s and Mexico’s open border policies. He announced a whopping 25% tariff on both countries, undoubtedly sending chills down the spines of free-traders and progressives everywhere. Not to forget, China is also on his radar due to the overwhelming fentanyl crisis that has cost countless American lives. The trade wars may be heating up, and Trump is the commander, ready to battle.

In a move that seems more like a masterstroke than a mere policy decision, Trump intends to cut through the red tape that has allowed these countries to take advantage of the U.S. For too long, America has subsidized Canada to the tune of $175 billion a year and Mexico somewhere between $250 billion and $300 billion. It’s like sending your children off to school with a full lunchbox and then watching them share their snacks with every kid on the playground. Those days are over. The tariffs are coming, and it’s Trump’s way of saying “enough is enough.”

The president didn’t just stop at the neighboring countries; he also has China firmly in his sights. The opioid crisis stemming from fentanyl, a poisonous product that has been making its way from China to American communities, has left a trail of devastation. Trump will not only impose tariffs on our amiable northern and southern neighbors but hopes to send a clear message to China: stop sending this poison our way. This is a no-nonsense, back-to-basics approach that conservatives can cheer for.

Interestingly enough, while Trump was laying down the law, the Canadian Prime Minister’s parting shot seemed to reveal more about the Liberal mindset than anything else. A parody account for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau humorously commented that their government refuses to secure the border and would instead consider handing out cash like confetti—simply delightful! This is a clear representation of a government that prioritizes giving handouts over securing the safety and security of its citizens, the very thing Trump is trying to combat.

As the tariffs roll in, one thing is clear: Trump’s unapologetic, America-first policies are making a significant comeback. The next couple of weeks will likely determine whether this leads to an economic revival or another round of finger-pointing by the left. However, one can’t ignore the little chuckle in the back of the mind upon picturing globalists gasping at the thought of tariffs while Trump sits back, arms crossed. The next round in the trade war may just pivot in America’s favor, and traditional conservative values are not only persisting but thriving under the current administration.
