Just after midnight, 25% duties came into effect against Canada and Mexico. An additional 10% levy was imposed on Chinese goods on top of another 10% tariff that took effect earlier this month. A lower 10% duty was placed on Canadian energy imports.

Can someone explain to me what the tariffs are in response to? I don’t have any clear understanding of what they are supposed to be in response to except Canada won’t let us make them a State and Mexico isn’t white? I mean he rambles about so could be because Hannibal Lecter too?
Trying to make sense of Trump/Elon actions with a rational or logical mind doesn't work. You have to be a psychotic drug using overreaching white nationalist oligarch to even try to make sense of them.
Their moves don't seem to be doing well politically either

Everything…and I mean EVERYTHING is going to be more expensive! Thanks for the higher taxes Republican Party. Tariffs are nothing more than taxes paid by American consumers. Wake up!
You thought this entitled bitch boy could run a country. You learned nothing from first term. This idiot is not a businessman he bankrupted everything he touches but hey let’s elect him president. It’s pretty clear some users here voted for this too.
And ... the MSM helped get us to this point by propping Trump up and holding Biden and Harris to a MUCH higher level than you held Trump. Also, treating Trump like a normal candidate instead of a dictator in waiting. Well, hope you enjoy reporting on the pain you've brought to the American people.
Gotta ask the Orange Dictator about that curious word..
"GROCERIES"....he's never stepped foot in a Grocery store, but even MAGA peeps shop. Blow back is coming
I went to Walmart. I paid for a product. Walmart bought nothing from me. I have a trade deficit with Walmart. I am a victim. I am subsidizing Walmart. I need to start a trade war. Sounds like Wharton taught econ. Did you got to class, Donald?
Someone else pointed out that to make a car, materials and parts leave and enter Canada, Mexico and the US several times in the course of production. For each import a tariff is applied - so tariffs are multiplied many times with much higher end-costs to consumer. The US car industry will be toast.
Trump is now a buddy with Putin, because Putin know since three years what it means to produce everything in his own country…quality of products did go down, prices did go up, inflation do go up, ruble did fall. Nice perspectives for the US citizens.
no worries the 😡💩 has it in hand he is clear cutting you national parks ,Guess canadians will get that contract as there are no large producers in America or equipment etc
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣etc.
They are not all part of Trump's gang, and no one has threatened our lives.
I would also guess they didn't vote for what is happening, so why should we further victimize Americans (who happen to reside in certain geographical regions)?
The US government claims to be acting in the best interests of their citizens by punishing us.
Neither capitulation nor turning the other cheek has worked. Maybe it's time for export taxes on everything they haven't tariffed to stop letting them choose what crosses the border unencumbered.
That might have been part of the point. T-Bag declared an energy emergency so that he could start logging in national forests and ignore protections for endangered species. Losing access to Canadian lumber and fuel would give rhetorical cover for the move.
Maybe. But doubt it as he probably would’ve just taxes lumber. But who knows. I’ve always thought he’d clear National/federal land/parks to see to his oil/gas/mineral/development friends in exchange for a cut/commission/donation
Dont worry...farmers have to suddenly restructure their entire operations...buy different machines...plant different fields...whole new pricing negotiations, gorw and harvest different crops to sell to Americans.
We'll only be in the food lines for maybe a year or two...
Buy comfortable shoes.

Just About Everything.
That’s exactly the message the media need to be communicating right now.
Then let the public pin the blame on Trump for every damn price rise they see.

Elbows Up!
He doesn’t understand or care about market fundamentals. He has no economic insight whatsoever.
Congrats!

The American public is being victimized by their own government - ours is trying not to hurt any citizens.

Get ready for a barrage of overnight potash experts.
Reciprocal tariffs that are high are bad but this also is a tactic used to lower them all as well for the mid to long term
New construction starts were already low, and will go to zero now. I wouldn’t be surprised if in-progress sites were sold at a discount.
Housing inflation is about be great again.

"I will end the Ukraine war in 24 hours" = I will join the dictator in destroying Ukraine and US democracy.
