Oh, this could be interesting...
[I asked AI to give me a picture of "angry Canadians and Mexicans," and this is what it gave me-- guys in jeans and a monster riding on the hood and roof of a 1970's-era VW Karmann Ghia. Go figure]
Yesterday, Donald Trump posted this on Truth Social:
As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before. Right now a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border. On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!
If that happens, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. US auto manufacturers shifted much of their manufacturing to Canada and Mexico after Bill Clinton signed NAFTA into being, which had a terrible effect on Detroit. But once it is done, can it be undone?

Forget cars, NAFTA gave us reasonably priced produce year round. Look at the stickers on our fruits and vegetables next time you are at the store.
