President-elect Donald Trump on Monday pledged big tariffs on the United States' three largest trading partners - Canada, Mexico and China - detailing how he will implement campaign promises that could trigger trade wars.

Trump, who takes office on January 20, 2025, said he would impose a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico until they clamp down on drugs, particularly fentanyl, and migrants crossing the border, in a move that would appear to violate a free-trade deal.

Trump also outlined "an additional 10% tariff, above any additional tariffs" on China, in some of his most specific comments on how he will implement his economic agenda since winning the November 5 election on promises to "put America first".
