Trump considers the actions of Mexico and Canada insufficient

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, warned Sunday in an interview previously recorded over the weekend in Florida that he has not seen enough action by Canada and Mexico to avoid the tariffs he has threatened to impose on the two largest commercial partners in the country.

“No, it’s not enough,” he said. Something has to happen. It is not sustainable. And I’m changing it. ”

Trump agreed last week a 30 -day pause in his plan to impose a 25 percent tariff on all imports except oil, natural gas and Canadian electricity, which would be taxed with 10 percent, then that these countries take measures to appease their concerns about border security and drug trafficking.

Trump also reiterated that he is seriously interested in which Canada becomes the 51st state number of the United States.

I think Canada would be much better being the 51st state because we lose 200 billion dollars a year with Canada. And I will not allow thathe said.

In statements to journalists in the Air Force OneHe said that this Monday will announce 25 percent tariffs to all imports of steel and aluminum to the United States.

Trump also said that he will announce reciprocal tariffs on Tuesday or Wednesday, which will almost immediately enter into force.

With the latter, it seeks to align customs customs taxes that enter the United States in the same way in which US products are taxed abroad. If they tax us with 130 percent and we don’t, that will not continue like thishe said.

That will not affect all countries, because some impose the same tariffs as us. But those who benefit from the United States will be returned the favorhe added.

As of Tuesday, products from China will have additional 10 percent tariffs, a measure that Beijing decided to respond with specific tariffs on certain US products from February 10.

The Republican also told reporters that the United States has less debt than was thought, and wondered if there is any fraud related to debt payments.

The United States currently has 36.2 billion public debt dollars in circulation, according to the US Treasury, which plays a central role in the world financial system.

For his part, German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, said Europe is prepared to answer within an hour If the United States imposes tariffs on the European Union.
