In video: Trump’s new tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China stir global trade concerns

Experts warn that these measures could lead to trade retaliation and increased consumer costs in the US.

President Donald Trump has announced the imposition of new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, targeting key sectors such as automotive, agriculture, and technology. The tariffs range from 10% to 25% and are intended to protect American jobs and industries.

Experts warn that these measures could lead to trade retaliation and increased consumer costs in the US. The new tariffs may pose greater economic risks compared to previous ones, potentially impacting US growth and contributing to inflation.

In response, China has announced retaliatory tariffs of up to 15% on US imports, including energy products, leading to significant fluctuations in global markets.

As tensions escalate, businesses and consumers are bracing for the impact, with concerns about higher prices and potential supply chain disruptions. The situation remains fluid, and stakeholders are closely monitoring developments as the tariff measures unfold.
