Trump Plans Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intention to impose a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico, citing the need to curb immigration and drug trafficking into the U.S. This proposal has sparked a strong backlash from Canadian leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who have called the tariffs 'devastating' and 'unproductive' for both economies. Trudeau has spoken with Trump to discuss the tariffs and emphasized the importance of the economic relationship between the two countries. Canadian officials are preparing for potential increases in illegal border crossings in response to Trump's proposed immigration policies. The economic implications of these tariffs have caused concerns among Canadian businesses and prompted calls for a unified national response. Meanwhile, Trump has also proposed a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, further complicating international trade dynamics.
