President-elect Donald Trump vows to slap 25 per cent tariffs on all imports from neighbours Canada and Mexico while also adding a further 10 per cent on all Chinese goods in a bid to combat drug-trafficking and illegal immigration into the U.S. The announcement triggers a rally on Wall Street and the dollar climbs higher. In Germany the SPD choose incumbent Chancellor Olaf Scholz as its nominee in February’s election as the party struggles in the polls. Steel giant Thyssen Krupp says that cheap Chinese imports will force it to reduce its labour force by up to 40 per cent by the end of the decade.
