Trump imposes sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China
Briefly

The US has announced new tariffs of 25% on goods imported from Canada and Mexico, and 10% on those from China, including a 10% tariff on Canadian oil. This measure aims to hold these countries accountable for failing to halt the influx of harmful drugs like fentanyl into the US. Tariffs will generally increase consumer prices, as the added costs are borne by American importers. This action aligns with Trump's broader trade agenda and campaign promises to protect US interests and alter the trade dynamics.
