China and Canada hit back as Trump tariffs kick in
Published On Mar 4, 2025, 4:30 AM
Canada, Mexico, and China have announced plans to retaliate against tariffs imposed by President Trump on imported goods. The US has applied 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and 20% on those from China, causing concern about escalating trade tensions and potential price increases for consumers. The tariffs, aimed at addressing issues like illegal drug imports, were met with immediate countermeasures from affected countries, further straining international relations. Global stock markets responded negatively, reflecting fears of economic instability due to these developments.
