Tariff Threat Is Straight From Trump’s Playbook

Bloomberg: “In a gambit familiar to adversaries and allies alike, Trump said in a social media post Monday evening he would slap 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada and additional 10% duties on China, unless they clamp down on migrants and illegal drugs coming to the US. Those three countries account for about 40% of all US trade.”

“It all had a familiar feel to a flurry of threats in his first term.”
