Trump signed an order to authorize tariffs on goods in Canada, Mexico and Chinese products | Trump administration
Donald Trump signed an order to authorize the after -tax tariffs from Canada, Mexico and China.
The decision may laid the foundation for the destruction trade war between the United States and the three top trading partners. Trump also threatened tariffs on EU countries.
According to the New York Times, Trump signed three execution orders on Saturday to collect 25 % tariffs on all goods in Mexico and Canada. Trump imposed 10 % tariffs on Canadian oil exports and 10 % tariffs on Chinese items.
The Times reported that Trump's tariff was scheduled to take effect on Tuesday. An official told the newspaper that if Mexico, Canada or China tried to impose their tariffs on American goods, these tariffs include the retaliation clause, which will increase US tariffs.
Trump imposed tariffs on the Law of the International Emergency Economic State. The president cited the American opioid crisis when applying an administrative order, which is most of the responsibility of drug trafficking in Canada.
Trump said in a post about the society: “We need to protect Americans as the president to ensure that everyone's safety is my responsibility. I have guaranteed it to my own movements to prevent illegal foreigners and drugs from drugs. It poured into our border, and Americans supported it with an overwhelming vote. “
Trump said that the country “played the core role in these challenges, including failed to pay full attention and resources, or coordinated with US law enforcement partners to effectively prevent the trend of illegal drugs.”
Trump's office said that Chinese officials failed to prevent drugs from being transported to Mexico and was used by Carter. He also claimed that Mexican drug dealers were “unbearable with the Mexican government.”
In the case of tariffs, Trump also listed the “threat of illegal foreigners” in his decision.
Trump's decision to levy 10 % of the tariff rate for Canadian energy products seems to be some kind of recognition, that is, tariffs can stimulate higher prices. The White House argued that tariffs would not cause inflation flames.
It is reported that the goods of these three countries include one -third of imports to the United States, including clothing, medicine, electronics and steel. Although Trump warned that Canada and Mexico said they would encounter aggravated tariffs, they would meet his plans for his tariffs on the United States.
Doug Ford, the Prime Minister of Ontario, said: “Canada now has no choice but to repellerates hard work. Canada has a lot of things needed by the United States: high -grade nickel and other key minerals, energy and electricity, energy and electricity, Uranium, potassium fertilizer, aluminum we need to maximize the leverage and use it to the greatest extent. “
According to reports, Canada said it would levy tariffs on Florida orange juice and whiskey in Tennessee and peanut butter made in Kentucky. The Times pointed out that all three states were represented by Republican Senators and voted in 2024 to agree with Trump.
Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexican, said her country should respond to the “cool head” and the revenge of the plan. The newspaper pointed out that before the issuance decision, Trump did not conduct any serious negotiations with these countries.
Sheinbaum's speech in an irrelevant event, a few minutes after the news of Trump's tariffs came out, she seemed to gather her base. She said: “When we negotiate with other countries, when we talk to other countries, we will always keep stable with a high mind and never lower our heads.”
Economists have repeatedly issued an alert, that is, higher tariffs will increase the price of Americans' consumer goods and exacerbate increased living costs. Trump really realized that his tariffs may promote “temporary short -term destruction” on Friday.
He said he hoped that Americans could understand why they could impose them. Trump claims: “Tariffs will not cause inflation.” “They cause success.”
Washington Senator Patty Murray posted on social media: “Trump's tariffs will lose families. For these increases rather than Mexico, Canada or China. Feel it on the wallet. “
Jared Polis, Governor of Colorado, agreed: “Trump's tariffs will be taxes on Colorado and American families, and increase all costs from food to natural gas. Our competitiveness has decreased, hurting people, frankly, it doesn't make any sense. “
Jason Smith is the chairman of the committee and advocates tariffs. “President Trump is fulfilling his promise … From Canada, the tariffs imported from Mexico and China convey a powerful information, because other countries fail to prevent illegal drugs and immigrants from flowing into our country, the United States will no longer endure it.” He said in a statement. “These measures will also bring billions of dollars new revenue to the US government.”
Conservative Group Tax Foundation estimates that Trump signed a tariff of $ 8 billion in products worth about $ 380 billion in 2018 and 2019. The foundation describes it as “one of the largest taxes in decades.”
Joe Biden's government retains most of these tariffs in appropriate positions and adds tariffs of $ 18 billion in Chinese goods (including semiconductor and electric vehicles).
