President Donald Trump announced that starting February 1, imports from Canada and Mexico will face a 25% tariff. This decision is part of his efforts to address issues including undocumented migration, fentanyl trafficking, and trade deficits. While the impact on oil imports from these countries is still uncertain, the introduction of tariffs could lead to increased costs for consumers and businesses across various sectors, including energy-related products.
