President Trump has announced that 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada will begin, citing concerns over drug trafficking as the primary reason. This decision has led to fears of escalating trade tensions in North America. Trump also indicated plans to impose an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods, on top of a previous tariff. Following this announcement, U.S. stock markets reacted negatively, indicating investor concern over the potential economic fallout from these tariffs.
