Trump sings tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China: ‘National emergency’
The Trump administration has recently implemented tariffs through its new International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In a statement released by the White House and obtained by Fox News, it was revealed that these tariffs are being put in place due to an “extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl, constitutes a national emergency.”
According to the statement, President Donald J. Trump has announced a 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, as well as a 10% additional tariff on imports from China. However, energy resources imported from Canada will have a lower 10% tariff imposed on them.
This move by the Trump administration is aimed at protecting American industries and jobs from what they perceive as unfair trade practices by these countries. The tariffs are intended to level the playing field and ensure that American businesses are not at a disadvantage in the global market.
