Trump says 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will go ahead

Trump's threats to put tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico have weighed on markets, even though there has been considerable uncertainty over whether he would make good on his threat.
The article from WUWM discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico if he were to return to office. Trump made these comments during a campaign event in Greensboro, North Carolina, emphasizing that the tariffs would be part of his strategy to renegotiate trade deals, particularly the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement). He argued that these tariffs would help protect American industries and jobs, claiming that previous trade agreements have been detrimental to the U.S. economy. Critics, however, warn that such tariffs could lead to retaliatory measures from Canada and Mexico, potentially sparking a trade war and increasing costs for American consumers. The article also notes that Trump's tariff plans are part of a broader protectionist approach, which has been a hallmark of his economic policy.
