Less than a week before his inauguration as president of the United States, the magnate launched: “We will begin to charge those who profit from trade at our expense.”
Less than a week before his inauguration, the president-elect of United States, Donald Trumpcontinues to announce what his first projects will be at the head of the White House. This Tuesday he announced that he will create a body to “collect tariffs, levies and all revenues from foreign sources” and compared it to the internal tax collection system.
Through a post on his social network, Social Truththe Republican leader stated: “We will begin to collect to those who profit at our expense with tradeand they will finally begin to pay what is due to them,” he warned.
He even detailed that this new organization will be called External Revenue Service (External Revenue Service, in English) and specified that he will take office on Monday, January 20, the day he will assume his second term as president of the United States.
In the same publication, the magnate pointed out against the “soft and pathetically weak trade agreements” that currently govern the country.
“The American economy has brought growth and prosperity to the worldwhile taxing ourselves,” he questioned.
Trump announced that he will impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada
This is not the first time trump refers to the possibility of taxing other countries. In fact, some time ago he expressed that he considers that “Tariff” is “the most beautiful word in the dictionary.”
Among other things, he announced that will impose a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada on all products that enter the country and contemplated another 10% on Chinese products until that country stops the arrival of fentanyl.
Although he did not give more details of the operation of this new service, it is understood that It will be this body that will collect these tariffs, if they end up coming into force.
However, The United States already has the IRS to collect taxes.
