To halt the ostensible overflow of deadly fentanyl and illegal aliens into the U.S., President Donald Trump has imposed 25 per cent tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports, as well as a 10 per cent tariff on Chinese imports. The charging of these tariffs, therefore, will not only impact Canadian industries, but raise costs for American manufacturers who are heavily reliant on imports such as steel and aluminium. Immediate tariffs will be placed upon $30 billion worth of American goods effective Feb. 4, followed by further tariffs upon $125 billion worth of products effective Feb. 23 — covering American beer, spirits, wine, fruits, fruit juices, vegetables, and consumer products such as perfume, clothing, household appliances, and many more. Trump has referred to the Prime Minister as “Governor Trudeau” multiple times, asserting that Canada has “a lot of problems” which can only be rectified through statehood. In the same breath, he has made claims that Canadian industries are being “subsidized” through billions of American dollars, allegedly causing deficits within the American economy.
