            Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei waves in his meeting with a group of students in Tehran. Iran found itself largely cut off from the outside world on Friday after authorities imposed a sweeping internet blackout aimed at containing rapidly expanding anti‑government protests. Phone calls failed to connect, flights were cancelled, and even domestic news sites updated only sporadically as the government tightened control over information flows.

Trump stated that he will sign an executive order on his first day in office to implement a 25% tariff on all products entering the United States from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China.

Trump's announcement has sparked concerns among economists and trade experts, who warn that such measures could lead to higher prices for American consumers and potential retaliatory actions from the affected countries. The tariffs are expected to impact a wide range of products, including automobiles, electronics, and agricultural goods.

Canadian and Mexican officials have yet to respond to Trump's announcement, but the move is likely to strain trade relations between the three countries. The tariffs could also complicate the implementation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which was designed to facilitate trade and economic cooperation in North America.

As the January 20th inauguration date approaches, businesses and consumers are bracing for the potential economic fallout from these tariffs.
