The United States imposed a rigorous tariff on imports of Mexico, Canada and China, taking advanced retaliation from North America.
US President Donald Trump signed three individual administrative orders on Saturday, imposing 25 percent in Canada and Mexico and 10 percent of China’s income.
However, energy imported from Canada, including oil, natural gas and electricity, is taxed at 10 %.
Trump promised to maintain his obligations until the tariff needed to “protect Americans,” and until the end of the drug pentanil and the unco documented migration.
Mexico’s President Claudia Shane Baum immediately ordered retaliation tariffs, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country would have a 25 %tariff from US imports to $ 150 billion.
There was no immediate response from China.
Kristen Saloomey of Al Jazeera, reported in Detroit City, said Trump’s movement raised concerns on both sides of the border.
“This is what Canadians were very worried, and the Americans of Detroit expressed concern about the price increase, and economists warned that trade wars could develop, prices and prices could rise as a result of these tariffs. . Perhaps Canada can be forced to stagnate the economic downturn. ”
Steep tariffs
Trump has declared that it will support the tariff according to the national emergency and the national emergency situation under the International Emergency Economic PowerS Act.
The new task will help Trump’s repetitive threat in the 2024 presidential campaign. And since he took office, he ignores the warnings of top economists that new trade wars with the top trade partners in the United States will raise the price of consumers and companies as they weaken the US and global growth.
According to Trump’s written command, the tariff collection will begin on Tuesday at 12:1 am EST (05:01 GMT). But before entering the United States on Saturday at 12:01 am, imports in the ship or final transport mode will be exempt from obligations.
The White House Fact Sheet said that the tariff would stay in place until the crisis was eased, but there was no details about what to do for three countries.
Meanwhile, US officials said there would be no exclusion from tariffs, and said Trump would increase the US’s mission if Canada, Mexico or China retaliated for US exports.
They said Canada, especially Canada, would no longer allow a “at least” US mandatory exemption for smaller shipments of less than $ 800. Officials, along with Mexico, said Canada was a conduit to ship pentanil and precursor chemicals to the United States, and that Canada was often shipped to the United States through a small package that was not inspected by customs agents.
‘Real results’
Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau said that Canada’s mission for $ 3 billion in US alcohol and fruit trade would be effective when the US tariff took effect on Tuesday. He opened his address to Canadians with a message aimed at American consumers.
“It will have practical results for Americans,” he added.
Trudeau warned in French in French that it could bring “dark time” to many people, saying, “The White House’s actions today have separated us instead of gathering us. He encouraged Canadians to “recommend Canadian products and services rather than American products.”
In response to Trump’s announcement in the mail of X, Mexican President Sheinbaum instructed Economic Minister to implement a response to other measures that defend retaliatory tariffs and Mexico’s interests.
Sheinbaum said, “We reject the White House’s slander that the Mexican government has an alliance with a criminal organization and has the intention of our territory.
“If the US government and the institution want to deal with their own serious pentanil consumption, they can fight drug sales in the streets of major cities, but are not laundry for this illegal activity. Create too much harm to the population. ”
Julia Galiano of Al Jazeera, reported in Mexico City, said the trade war would hit Mexico.
“80 %of Mexican exports go to the United States. This country is Mexico’s largest trading partner so far. Experts tell us that the effect will be felt in essence, and at first, when the inflation rises, the price rises (and).
Meanwhile, the Republican Party of the United States welcomed Trump’s movement, and industrial organizations and Democrats issued warnings on the effects of Stark on the price.
Jake Colvin, President of the National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC), threatened Trump’s movement to raise the cost of “everything from avocados to cars,” and a quick solution to avoid escalation to the United States, Canada and Mexico to the United States, Canada and Mexico. I urged to find.
Colvin said in a statement: “We need to focus on cooperating with Canada and Mexico to secure competitive advantage and to promote US companies’ global market export capacity.
