On February 1, 2025, President Donald Trump imposed increased taxes on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China.
A 25% duty was imposed on items from Canada and Mexico, while a 10% levy was levied on Chinese imports.
The government defended these actions as efforts to prevent illegal immigration and the influx of fentanyl into the US.
In response, Canada and Mexico imposed retaliatory tariffs on US goods. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau criticised the United States tariffs, claiming they would affect both countries’ economies and likely raise prices for American consumers.
He emphasised Canada’s intention to pursue a tariff-free solution and hinted at the potential long-term boycott of American exports.
Similarly, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo criticised Trump’s allegations about Mexico’s involvement in drug trafficking and promised to establish a “Plan B” in response. She emphasised that tariffs will not solve the immigration problem.
These moves have sparked concerns about a future trade war, with analysts warning that such actions might destabilise the global economy and substantially impact the economies of Mexico and Canada.
Economists warn that these tariffs could raise consumer prices in the United States, notably electronics, groceries, and clothes.
The situation is changing, with more developments expected as all parties consider the implications of current trade policies.
