President Donald Trump defended his recent rates Against Canada, Mexico and China while talking with journalists from the Andrews joint base on Sunday night, and hinted that the European Union can suffer a similar destination.
The tariffs, which were authorized in an executive order on Saturday, will take effect on Tuesday. Under the International Law of Emergency Economic Powers (IEEPA), a 25% additional rate It will be collected in the imports of Canada and Mexico, and a 10% tariff on China imports.
In the executive order, Trump said that tariffs are derived from an “extraordinary threat raised by illegal foreigners and drugs, including mortal fentanyl, (which) constitutes a national emergency.”

“Canada has been very abusive from the United States for many years. They do not allow our banks,” Trump said. “And you know that Canada does not allow banks to enter, if you think about it. That is quite surprising. If we have an American bank, they do not allow them to enter.”
“Canada has been very difficult for oil on energy. They do not allow our agricultural products to enter, essentially. They do not allow many things inside. And we allow everything to come as a unique sense street.”
Trump also said that the United States subsidizes Canada “for a sum of approximately $ 200 billion a year.”
“And for what? What do we get from that? We don’t get anything out of that,” he added. “I love the people of Canada. I do not agree with Canada’s leadership and something will happen there.”
The Republican leader also said that “definitely” will impose tariffs against the European Union, with which he said that the United States has a commercial deficit of $ 300 billion.
“They do not take our cars, they do not take our agricultural products, they take almost nothing,” Trump said. “And we take them all from them. Millions of cars, huge amounts of food and agricultural products. Therefore, the United Kingdom is out of place and we will see the United Kingdom, but the European Union is really out of place.”
In a statement on Saturday, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum said her country “categorically rejected (s) the slander of the White House against the Mexican government to have alliances with criminal organizations, as well as any intention of intervention in our territory.”

“Mexico not only does not want fentanil to reach the United States, but anywhere,” said the statement. “Therefore, if the United States wants sovereignty, which is not negotiable. “
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shook the United States encouraging Canadians to “buy Canada” in response to tariffs.
“Now is the time to choose products made here in Canada,” Trudeau wrote in X. “Verify the labels. Let’s make our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.”

“It is a bad situation that the radical media of the left do not want to mention so much,” said Trump’s statement. “A massive violation of human rights, at least, is happening for everyone to see it. The United States will not defend it, we will act. In addition, I will cut all future funds to South Africa to a complete investigation of this situation has been completed!”
