Overview
As of February 1, President Trump has imposed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, and a 10% tariff on Chinese goods. This bold move aims to curb illegal immigration and drug smuggling, fulfilling a central campaign promise. Major retailers are bracing for higher consumer prices, with analysts predicting an inflation increase up to 1.2%. Both Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum have indicated readiness for retaliatory measures. The tariffs could lead to a significant shift in U.S. trade dynamics and have drawn warnings about potential economic repercussions.
