Trump signed orders on Saturday evening, imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada (though Canadian energy faces a lower tariff of 10%) and 10% tariffs on goods from China.
Trump’s move to impose new tariffs has bewildered the United States’ closest allies and trading partners, who have vowed to respond with levies of their own.
As a result, Trump's across-the-board tariffs on all trade with Mexico or Canada risks making U.S. autos much more expensive than foreign imports.
Trump signed three separate executive orders on Saturday, imposing the tariffs, which have been globally criticised.
