President Trump has proposed sweeping tariffs for America’s top three trading partners—Mexico, Canada, and China. These countries account for $1.4 trillion of imports into the US, equating to 45% of all US imports. The US is placing a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada, except energy commodities at 10%. For imports from Mexico, the rate will be 25%, and for imports from China, it will be 10%. These measures were set to go into place on February 4th—however, the tariff on Mexico has been delayed by one month as Mexico agreed to reinforce the border against drug trafficking with 10,000 National Guard members. Uncertainty remains on the tariffs on Canada and China. President Trump is expected to speak with Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau today at 3 PM.
