President Trump's recently implemented tariffs include a 25% tax on imports from Canada and Mexico and a doubling of tariffs on China from 10% to 20%. These tariffs aim to address border and drug policy issues, particularly regarding fentanyl. China's swift retaliation includes tariffs ranging from 10% to 15% on US imports. Canadian ministers warn that these tariffs will lead to higher consumer prices in the US, while Mexico’s response remains tentative as they assess the impact of these new tariffs on their economy.
The president's initial executive order placing tariffs on the three countries said the tariffs would remain in place "until the crisis is alleviated," referring to border and drug policy.
Beijing retaliated swiftly against Trump's additional tariffs, announcing that China will impose additional tariffs of 10% to 15% on some US imports starting March 10.
Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada's minister of energy and natural resources, warned that tariffs on Canada will cause car and energy prices to increase for US consumers.
Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, stated she would wait to see the scale of the new tariffs before announcing any retaliatory measures.
