President Trump has announced that tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will take effect on March 4 and that he will also impose additional tariffs on China. This move is framed as a response to illegal drugs coming into the U.S. from these countries. Trump's approach has created uncertainty in the markets as consumers fear higher prices due to these tariffs, which could affect growth and lead to possible market corrections.
