Trump imposes tariffs for Mexico, Canada and China | Donald Trump News

The United States has imposed solid import tariffs from Mexico, Canada and China, which has triggered rapid measures for discounts from North American neighbors in the country.

US President Donald Trump has signed three separate executive orders on Saturday, imposing 25 percent of Canada and Mexico goods and 10 percent for all imports from China.

But the energy imported from Canada, including oil, natural gas and electricity, will be taxed by 10 percent.

Trump said that tariffs were needed to “protect Americans” and promised to retain their duties, while what he called a national emergency situation in the United States over drugs, fentanyl and undocumented migration did not end.

Mexico President Claudia Shainbaum immediately ordered the retaliatory tariffs, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country would put a matching 25 percent tariffs for up to $ 155 billion in US imports.

There was no immediate reaction from China.

Kristen Salumay of Al Jazeera, reporting from the US city of Detroit, said Trump's moves had caused fears on both sides of the border.

“This is something that the Canadians have worried a lot, and the Americans here in Detroit, where I am, have expressed concern for raising prices and economists warn that trade war can develop as a result of these tariffs and lead to an increase and increase and lead to an increase and increase prices and lead to an increase and increase prices and lead to an increase in prices and lead to an increase and increase prices and lead to an increase in prices and increase prices and yes They lead to an increase in prices and prices eventually forced Canada to recession, “she said.

Steep tariffs

Trump has declared the national emergency under the International Economic Forces Law on Emergency Situations and the Law on National Emergency Situations to support tariffs that allow the president to sweep the powers to impose sanctions on dealing with crises.

New obligations deal with Trump's repeated threats during the 2024 presidential campaign and after taking office, refuting warnings by the best economists that a new trade war with the best trading partners in the United States will erode the US and global growth while raising the prices of consumers and companies.

Tariff collections will begin at 12:01 pm EST (05:01 GMT) on Tuesday, according to Trump's written order. But the import that was loaded on a ship or in their final manner of transit before entering the United States before 12:01, Saturday will be released from the obligations.

The White House Facts has said that tariffs will remain in place “until the crisis is relieved” but does not give details of what the three countries will have to do to win a recovery.

Meanwhile, US officials have said there will be no exceptions to the tariffs and if Canada, Mexico or China have avenged US exports, Trump is likely to increase US duties.

They said that Canada, more special, would no longer be allowed to release De Minimis on duty for small shipments under $ 800. Officials said that Canada, along with Mexico, has become a fentanyl consignor conductor and his predecessors of chemicals in the United States, through small packages that are not often checked by customs agents.

“Real consequences”

Trudeau, Canada Prime Minister, said Canadian duties on $ 30 billion in American alcohol and fruit trade will come into force on Tuesday when US tariffs come into force. He opened his address to the Canadians with a message aimed at US users.

“This will have real consequences for you, the American people,” he said, adding that this would lead to higher prices for groceries and other goods.

“The actions taken today by the White House have separated us instead of uniting us,” Trudeau said, warning in French that this could lead to “dark times” for many people. He encouraged Canadians to “choose Canadian products and services, not American.”

Shainbaum, the Mexican president, replied to Trump's message in an X publication, saying that she had instructed her economy secretary to apply an answer, which includes repayment rates and other measures to protect Mexico's interests.

“We categorically reject the White House slander that the Mexican government has alliances with criminal organizations, as well as every intention to interfere in our territory,” Sheyinbaum wrote.

“If the United States government and its agencies wanted to cope with the serious consumption of fentanyl in their country, they could fight the sale of drugs on the streets of their big cities, which they do not make money laundering that this one Illegal activity generates, which has caused so much harm to its population. “

Julia Galiano of Al Jazeera, reporting Mexico City, said the trade war would hit Mexico.

“Let us remember that 80 percent of Mexico's exports go to the United States. The country is the largest trading partner in Mexico. Experts tell us that the effects will be substantially felt immediately, initially the prices increase (s) second, with an increase in inflation, “she said.

Meanwhile, Republicans in the United States welcomed Trump's course while industrial groups and Democrats have issued great warnings about pricing.

The President of the National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) Jake Kolvin said Trump's move threatens to increase the cost of “everything from avocado to cars” and called on the United States, Canada and Mexico to find a quick solution to avoid escalation.

“Our focus must be on our work with Canada and Mexico in order to gain a competitive advantage and make it easier for US companies to export world markets,” Kolvin said in a statement.

Democrats quickly said that any inflation that goes on is the result of Trump, who is about to start his third week back as president.

“You are worried about grocery prices. Don is raising prices with his tariffs, “Senate Democratic leader Chuck Sumer of New York published at X.

“You are worried about tomato prices. Wait for the Trump Mexico tariffs to increase your tomatoes. … you are worried about the prices of cars. Wait for Trump's rates of Canada to raise your cars, “he wrote in a series of publications.
