Trump has to clean up the crap that Biden caused.
Mexico and China, should have higher tariffs. Trump wants to shut down the flood of fentanyl coming across the Mexican border. The cartels are producing the fentanyl in Mexico with raw materials from China. Mexico could have stopped the flood of illegals coming across our border, but didn't. The damage to this country will continue to be significant.
China is purchasing manufacturing facilities in Mexico, so they can take advantage of favorable tariffs trading policies under the USMCA. They are also building EV plants to flood our country, while we wreck our domestic car manufacturing industry.
Mexico also has unfavorable tariffs with the US.
The US tariffs against Mexico are designed to discourage Mexico's malign behavior and the influence of China in our back yard. They are also designed to make Mexico pay for its behavior over the last 4 years.
Mexico has to eliminate the cartels.
These are choices Mexico has to make.
About Canada: We continue to have a problem with illegal aliens coming across our border from Canada. There are some manufacturing tariffs imposed on us that Canada should remove. But nothing to justify a 25% tariff across the board. Instead, we should have pipelines coming from Canada into the US, with oil and gas.
But not so fast... Mexico has blinked... Mexico has agreed to reinforce their border with the US. There is a one month pause.

Mexico agrees to deploy 10,000 troops to US border in exchange for tariff pause
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has agreed to deploy 10,000 national guard troops to block drug trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border.
You all deride the WSJ, but they have several good takes on this...

For years we have tolerated your provocations. Your curious “bacon.” Your cloying niceness. The whole French thing. You may not be responsible for burying us in fentanyl (a total of 43 pounds seized at the border last year, according to U.S. Border Patrol), but you’ve sent us a lot of noxious material over the decades: Justin Bieber. Jim Carrey. Tim Horton.
And the annoying way you pronounce words—“about” sounds like “a boat”? You thought you could get away with that, eh?
And don’t get me started on Mexico.
I tried. There may be some better justification for what the Journal’s editorial board has called “the dumbest trade war in history,” but I can’t think of one....
If I had asked you the day before the election to name the international concerns on which Mr. Trump would focus most attention during the transition and the early days of his presidency, you’d probably have guessed the obvious: China, Russia and Ukraine, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Middle East. If you would have said: Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Panama, you should be in the crystal-ball business....
