Trump's Tariff Plans and Global Trade Impact

Donald Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on goods from the U.S.'s largest trading partners, which include China, Canada, and Mexico, targeting a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada, and a 10% on Chinese imports. The intentions behind the tariffs are framed as responses to issues like illegal immigration and drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, from these countries. If enacted, economists predict significant disruptions in global trade, affecting over $600 billion in goods traded with China alone and more than $1.5 trillion across North America. Price hikes in consumer goods could become a reality if these tariffs move forward, with Trump planning to implement them on his first day in office if elected.
