Trump says tariffs on Canada and Mexico ‘will go forward’
President Donald Trump announced that tariffs on Canada and Mexico will begin next month, ending a monthlong suspension.
The tariffs are set at 25% for most goods from Mexico and 10% for Canadian energy products, aiming to pressure these countries to address illegal immigration and drug smuggling.
Most economists predict that consumers and manufacturers will bear the costs of the tariffs, impacting economic growth.
Trump believes the import taxes will generate revenue and create jobs.
