Washington D.C. Former President Donald Trump has announced a substantial increase in tariffs on goods imported from China, raising them to 125%. This decision, revealed earlier today, marks a significant shift in trade relations. While the tariff hike focuses solely on China, Trump stated that tariffs exceeding 10% would be temporarily paused for other countries, pending further review.
Critics are already voicing concerns about the potential impact on American consumers and businesses, citing the likelihood of increased prices and disruptions to supply chains. Supporters, however, argue that the move is necessary to protect American industries and address unfair trade practices.
In a separate development, a '60 Minutes' report has shed light on the situation faced by migrants deported to El Salvador. The investigation found that 75% of individuals deported to a specific prison in El Salvador had no prior criminal record. The report highlights the potential for wrongful deportations and raises concerns about the human rights of those affected. The '60 Minutes' team interviewed several deported individuals and documented the conditions within the prison, painting a stark picture of their experiences. This investigation is likely to fuel further debate on immigration policies and the treatment of deportees.
