Trump Administration Doubles Down on Tariffs

President Trump has officially signed off on new tariffs targeting Mexico, Canada, and China. The plan includes a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and China, while Canadian energy imports will face a 10% tariff to prevent disruptions for U.S. consumers. Trump says the move is meant to pressure these nations into stopping illegal immigration and the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. His trade adviser, Peter Navarro, warned that if these countries retaliate, the U.S. will respond with even steeper tariffs. The administration insists these measures will protect American interests, but critics fear they could spark economic backlash.
