United States tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports took effect on Tuesday. The levies, set at 25 percent by US President Donald Trump, have been followed by the doubling of duties on Chinese goods to 20 percent. Levies on Canadian energy are limited to 10 percent.
Mexico and Canada, the top US trading partners, account for more than 30 percent of total goods traded, exceeding $1.6 trillion. The move has triggered trade tensions, including retaliatory tariffs, that could slow economic growth and drive up prices for Americans still recovering from years of high inflation.
