The article from WWMT discusses former President Donald Trump's announcement of imposing new tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China, set to begin on Tuesday. Trump proposed a 25% tariff on steel and 10% on aluminum from Mexico and Canada, citing national security concerns, despite these countries being part of the USMCA trade agreement. Additionally, he plans to increase tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods from 10% to 25%, escalating the ongoing trade war with China.

The tariffs are expected to affect various sectors of the economy, potentially leading to higher costs for consumers and businesses.
