The United States is taking a firm stance against what it perceives as unfair trade practices. President Donald J. Trump has announced a "Fair and Reciprocal Plan" aimed at addressing the issue of closed markets among trading partners. According to the administration, these practices contribute significantly to the country's annual trade deficit.

President Trump emphasized his commitment to prioritizing American interests in international trade agreements. The plan is part of his broader strategy to put "America First," a mandate he claims was given by the American people.

In recent developments, President Trump utilized tariffs as a tool to prompt Canada and Mexico into making changes at the U.S. borders. These actions are intended to enhance the safety and security of American citizens.
