With Tariffs, Trump Prepares to Redesign North America
A 25% duty is only the beginning
On a quiet Monday, President-elect Donald Trump disrupted North America.
On Truth Social, Trump outlined his plan to slap a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada over illegal immigration and the flow of drugs. And raise the existing levies on China by an additional 10%. All of this will be enacted through executive orders on the first day of his presidency.
It was a geoeconomic curveball. While many view Trump’s ideas as crazy or question whether he will follow through on them at all (once in power), another angle is being missed. If Trump moves forward with his new tariffs, what happens to North America (and the world)?
The entire structure and design of North America could suddenly be undone.
