Trump Tariff Decision Expected Amid Negotiations with Canada, Mexico

News summary

President Donald Trump is set to decide on Monday whether to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, amid ongoing discussions about border security and drug trafficking. The tariffs are part of Trump's strategy to 'level the playing field' in trade, according to Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, although the outcomes of such measures remain uncertain. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick noted that there has been mixed messaging about the implementation timeline of these tariffs, which could be enforced as early as Tuesday or possibly delayed until April 2. Progressive economist Gabriel Zucman suggested that affected countries should retaliate by taxing U.S. oligarchs, emphasizing the leverage that Canada, Mexico, and Europe hold in this trade dispute. He argued that this approach could help address economic inequality and enforce minimum standards. The situation reflects broader tensions in U.S. trade policy and its implications for international relations.
