Canada and Mexico are standing their ground against President Donald Trump following his decision to impose a hefty 25% tariff on their exports. Both countries are expressing their dissatisfaction and readiness to counteract what they deem as an unreasonable move by the United States.

In a unified stance, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with the Mexican president, have vocalized their intent to counter Trump’s latest taxation policy. This policy appears to target the reduction of illegal drug traffic into the U.S.

Trudeau announced his collaboration with President Claudia, stating that their combined efforts would challenge Trump’s strategy, which he perceives as a mechanism to curb the drug influx to America. The unity between Canada and Mexico is a clear message of their disapproval and resilience.

The imposition includes a 25% tax on Canadian and Mexican imports, while China’s goods face a slightly lower tariff of 10%. Simultaneously, the U.S. plans a 10% tariff on various Canadian energy products, further escalating tension between the neighboring countries.

In response, Canada is considering a 25% taxation on a range of American goods worth $155 billion. This tariff would affect items such as beer, wine, bourbon, as well as fruits, vegetables, fruit juices, shoes, clothing, and perfume.

Trudeau stands firm in his decision, highlighting the significant impact these changes will have on Canadian consumers. He also mentioned the possibility of moving away from American products, such as Florida’s orange juice, asserting that Canada has alternative sources to explore.
