The United States imposed a severe tariff on imports from Mexico, Canada and China, prompting rapid repriscence of North American neighbors in the country.

US President Donald Trump signed three separate executive orders on Saturday, 25 percent imposed on goods from Canada and Mexico, and 10 percent on all imports from China.

But the energy imported from Canada, including oil, natural gas and electricity, will be imposed by taxes at a rate of 10 percent.

Trump said that the definitions were necessary to “protect the Americans” and promised to keep duties in place until what he called the national emergency in the United States about fentanel drugs and the endless immigration ends.

Mexico President Claudia Shinbom immediately ordered the retaliatory tariffs, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that his country would put a tariff of up to 25 percent on imports of up to $ 155 billion in the United States.

There was no immediate reaction from China.

Christine Salome from the island, which was reported by the city of Detroit, said that Trump’s movements raised concerns on both sides of the border.

“This is something Canadians were very concerned, and the Americans are here in Detroit, where I, expressed concern about the high prices, warns the economists that the trade war can develop as a result of this tariff and cause prices to increase and increase prices may have been forced Canada to recession.”

A severe tariff

Trump announced that the state of national emergency under the Economic Forces Law in International Emergency Cases and the National Emergency Cases Law to support definitions, which allow the president to comprehensive powers to impose sanctions to address crises.

The new duties fulfill the repeated threats of Trump during the presidential campaign for the year 2024 and since its assumption of office, and challenges warnings from senior economists that a new trade war with the most important American trade partners will lead to the erosion of American and global growth, while raising prices for consumers and companies.

Customs tariff groups are scheduled to start at 12:01 am EST (05:01 GMT) on Tuesday, according to Trump’s written order. But imports uploaded to a ship or on their final placing to cross before entering the United States before 12:01 am on Saturday will be exempted from duties.

The White House facts newspaper said that the customs tariff will remain in place “until it reduces the crisis”, but it has not provided details about what the three countries will need to win.

Meanwhile, US officials said that there will be no exceptions from customs duties, and if Canada, Mexico or China have criticized American exports, Trump is likely to increase the American tasks.

They said that Canada, specifically, would not be allowed to exempt the US duty for small shipments less than $ 800. The officials said that Canada, along with Mexico, has become a channel for fentianils and chemicals in the United States, through small packages that are often not searched by customs factors.

“Real consequences”

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau said that Canadian duties are $ 30 billion in trade in alcohol and American fruits will get on Tuesday, when the American definitions enter into force. He opened his title to Canadians with a message aimed at American consumers.

He said: “It will have real consequences for you, the American people,” adding that it will lead to the high prices of groceries and other commodities.

Trudeau said: “The measures I have taken today by the White House have separated from us instead of combining us,” Trudeau said. Encourage the Canadians to “choose Canadian products and services instead of American products.”

Shinbom, the Mexican President, responded to Trump’s announcement in a post on X, saying that she had instructed the Minister of Economy to implement a response that includes revenge definitions and other measures to defend the interests of Mexico.

“We categorically reject the White House defamation that the Mexican government has alliances with criminal organizations, as well as any intention to interfere in our lands,” Shinbom wrote.

“If the United States government and its agencies want to address the consumption of dangerous fentanel in their country, they can fight the sale of drugs in the streets of their main cities, which they do not do and laundering money that this illegal activity generates that which led to great harm to its residents.”

Julia Galliano of the island, who reported Mexico City, said that the trade war will strike Mexico strongly.

“Let’s remember that 80 percent of Mexico’s exports go to the United States. The country is the largest commercial partner in the far Mexico. Experts tell us that the effects will feel mainly immediately, at first with high prices [and] Second, with high inflation. “

Meanwhile, Republicans in the United States welcomed the Trump movement, while industrial and democratic groups have issued blatant warnings about the influence of prices.

The President of the National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) Jake Kulvin said that Trump’s move threatened to raise the costs of “everything from avocado to cars” and urged the United States, Canada and Mexico to find a quick solution to avoid escalation.

“Our focus on working with Canada and Mexico should gain a competitive advantage and facilitate the ability of American companies to export to global markets,” Colvin said in a statement.

Democrats were quick to say that any inflation to move forward was the result of Trump, who was about to start his third week as president.

“You are concerned about grocery prices. Democratic leader Chuck Schumer from New York on X on X.

“You are concerned about tomato prices. Wait for Mexico’s tariff in Trump to get to know your tomato prices. … You are concerned about car prices. Wait for Trump’s tariff in Canada to raise your car prices,” wrote in a series of publications.
