Canada and Mexico are expressing strong objections to the recent imposition of a 25% tariff on their goods by the United States. Both countries have decided to take a stand against this decision, labeling it as unreasonable.
The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, has publicized their plan to join forces with Mexico’s president in order to resist Trump’s taxation measures. These tariffs, according to Trump, are intended to curb the flow of drugs into the United States.
In a united front, Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia discussed strategies to contest Trump’s long-pending tax agenda, which they feel unfairly targets their nations.
President Trump’s new policy enforces a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports. Meanwhile, a lighter tariff arrangement of 10% is extended to China. The U.S. also aspires to levy a 10% tax on diverse energy imports from Canada.
In response, Canada has unveiled plans to implement a 25% tariff on a vast array of American goods, valued at $155 billion. This includes products such as beer, wine, and bourbon, along with various fruits, vegetables, juices, footwear, apparel, and fragrances.
Trudeau stressed the significant impact these tariffs will have on many Canadian citizens. Moreover, he hinted at reducing reliance on American products, such as Florida’s orange juice, as a potential measure.
