U.S. President Donald Trump's new 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada took effect on Tuesday, along with a doubling of duties on Chinese goods to 20%, sparking trade wars that could slam economic growth and lift prices for Americans still smarting from years of high inflation.

President Trump said Mexico and Canada must do more to stop the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. A bootleg version of the synthetic opioid, largely produced by Mexican cartels, has created a public health overdose crisis in the U.

In short, the alleged Truth Social ( archived) post was real. On March 4, 2025, Trump indeed posted "all federal funding will stop for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests," without providing specifics. Therefore, we have labeled this claim correctly attributed. The post read in full:

(Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that all federal funding will stop for colleges and schools that allow "illegal" protests and that agitators will be imprisoned or sent back to the country they came from. "American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested," Trump said in a Truth Social post.
