Deep dives

Impact of Trump's Tariffs

Donald Trump plans to impose tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico, starting with 25% on Canada and Mexico, and 10% on China. These tariffs are framed as a strategy to leverage economic pressure in exchange for better border policies and a crackdown on the flow of illegal drugs and migration into the U.S. The intent is to make American consumers pay more for imports, prompting negotiating partners to alter their policies. This approach attempts to rectify perceived unfair trade practices that have allowed other countries to benefit at the expense of American workers.
