USA LIVE: President Donald Trump imposes Tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico | White House | USA Today | CNBC TV18
President Donald Trump announced extraordinary new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China — signing the long-promised economic policy at his Mar-a-Lago club on Saturday. The Trump administration said tariffs are aimed at curbing the flow of drugs and undocumented immigrants into the US, but they potentially risk substantial price increases for American consumers across an array of common goods from avocados to sneakers to cars.
Hours later, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the country will impose retaliatory tariffs, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country “is prepared.” Trump’s tariffs were expected to invite retaliation, perhaps igniting a trade war that could significantly damage the economies of the targeted countries and the United States. In anticipation, Trump’s executive action includes a clause that allows the president to expand the tariffs if a country imposes new tariffs on the United States.
The new policy represents a reversal of virtually duty-free trade among the three North American nations that’s existed for several years — and an expansion of a frosty trade war between China and the United States that has escalated over the past two administrations.
as Trump has repeatedly promised over the past several months, the tariffs will amount to a significant 25% duty on all imports from Mexico and most goods from Canada and a 10% tariff on Chinese goods imported into the United States. The tariffs will have no exemptions, and the executive action Trump signed Saturday will close the so-called de minimis loophole that had allowed shipments of $800 or less to come into the United States tax-free — a key provision used by many American small businesses but also Chinese companies such as Shein and Temu. Trump administration officials said the loophole prevented customs officials from properly inspecting those packages.
