While the White House asserted the implementation of substantial tariffs—25% on Canada and Mexico and 10% on China—it remains unclear how these tariffs will impact various sectors, particularly regarding exemptions and the expected economic fallout. Business leaders in Canada and Mexico have expressed their concerns, hinting that these tariffs could potentially lead both nations into a recession.
