Hi! It's Rebecca Morin, senior national news reporter at USA TODAY. I'm patiently waiting for my Spotify Wrapped . A quick programming note: I will not be sending an On Politics newsletter on Thursday.

China, Mexico and Canada respond to Trump tariff threats

President-elect Donald Trump has laid out a controversial Day One action: tariffs on the United States' three largest trading partners. Trump this week vowed to impose new tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada to target drug trafficking and migrants crossing into the U.S. illegally. Officials from China, Mexico and Canada heavily criticized the president-elect's pledge, which appears to violate the terms of a free-trade deal Trump signed into law in 2020. Read more.

Trump posted on social media that he would sign an executive order to introduce a 25% tariff on goods coming from Mexico and Canada, and a 10% tariff on goods from China.
Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo warned the proposed tariffs could cause more inflation and hurt American automakers like General Motors and Ford.
