President Donald Trump has announced fresh tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, targeting steel, aluminum, and other goods. An additional duty on Chinese imports has also been introduced, doubling the previous rate. The administration cites national security concerns, including border control and fentanyl trafficking, as justification.
Industries reliant on these imports, such as automotive and construction, may face rising costs and supply chain disruptions. Analysts warn of potential retaliation from affected countries, raising fears of escalating trade tensions. The final tariff levels will be confirmed soon.
