Donald Trump has loaded the trade gun. He’s pointed the gun. He hasn’t pulled the trigger one day into his latest presidential term.

But he insists it’s coming next week.

Sitting in the Oval Office for the first time in four years, Trump said he’s planning to imminently follow through with the massive tariffs he’s threatened against Canada and Mexico.

“We’re thinking in terms of 25 per cent on Mexico and Canada,” Trump told reporters Monday, as he signed various executive orders, repeating his complaints about the border and fentanyl.
