During his overview of the news, Patrick Lagacé discusses the announcement of Donald Trump who wrote Monday evening on his social network that one of the first decrees that he would sign on January 20 after his inauguration would order the imposition of 25% tariffs on all Canadian products crossing the US border.
He announced that he would impose these tariffs on Canada and Mexico to force them to control the entry of illegal migrants and drugs into American soil, believing that the two neighbors of the United States had all the tools in hand to put an end to to these long-standing problems.
He said it was time for Canada and Mexico to pay a high price for their failure to secure their borders.
Additionally, Patrick Lagacé discusses Special Prosecutor Jack Smith’s decision to recommend dropping charges against Donald Trump in the cases of interference to overturn the 2020 election and mishandling of classified documents.
