President Donald Trump’s new tariffs are set to have far-reaching consequences, not just for countries like Canada, Mexico, and China, but also for American consumers. The impact will not only be felt in terms of higher prices on everyday goods, but it will also have a negative effect on political relations between the United States and its trade partners.
The decision to impose tariffs is likely to strain diplomatic ties and could potentially lead to retaliatory measures from other countries. This could result in a further escalation of trade tensions and ultimately harm the global economy. Furthermore, the tariffs will undoubtedly have an impact on jobs, as industries that rely heavily on international trade may see a decline in demand for their products.
For American families, the consequences of these tariffs could be significant. With the prices of imported goods expected to rise, consumers may face higher costs for everyday items such as electronics, clothing, and household goods. This could put a strain on household budgets and lead to a decrease in purchasing power for many families across the country.
Overall, Trump’s tariffs are likely to have a wide-ranging impact on both domestic and international economies. As the situation continues to unfold, it will be important for policymakers to carefully consider the potential consequences of these trade measures and work towards finding a solution that balances the interests of all involved parties.

Basing trade policy on actions from nearly 3 centuries ago…
Seems totally logical for the times +sarcasm+

lmao US does not need Canada and never did when US can replace the oil in from Canada in 3-4 mths and lumber with 15 million illegals leaving US. This guy is full of it.
At the inauguration Trump didn't put his hand on the Bible, just sayin……
Global News is a rag and needs to be shut down, they are liberal idiots trying to sow discord. Americans don't hate Canadians. Get your own government in order like we just did. Your elected officials don't care about you. Keep voting for liberal idiots, didn't you learn from Covid?
Canadians used to go across border to get groceries but now I don't think that's not gonna happen things can dramatically change to the usa
Everyone who voted for trump have to pay the increase in prices while those of us who were smart and had brains don;t have to pay.
all it hurts are the citizens on both sides that pays the tax and not these clowns in the office 🤡
How did the US destroy Germany's economy? Seymour Hersh on CGTN The Point-Hub-Heat, what really happened to Nordstream pipeline? RT International Africa-BRICS Summit…Reporterfy Media-Cyrus Janssen
This won’t hurt the US as much as Canada.
Real Americans stand with our brothers to the north! Don't buy our stuff, don't use our websites/apps!
Trump is shutting down the EU/China. He's building the USA superpower again. Canada loses this trade war badly – we have to decide if we're with the USA or against them. If we're against them Canada will never really recover and it's going to get extremely bad.
THE FREE RIDE HAS ENDED
THIS KILLED OUR AMERICANS JOBS FOR YEARS!!!!
Those tariffs are actually sales tax paid by companies doing business with Canada or Mexico who will then pass them on to consumers. So the question is what is the Trump administration going to do with all this money. This is a tax Americans are going to pay themselves. Same for Canada. The Canadian got is going to place tariffs Canada sells to the US and what are they going to do with all this money. Almost looks like they are doing this to raise taxes and increase revenues in their own country. They know they won’t get away with raising income tax this much. They also know that most people don’t understand what tarifs are and how they work.
How can one man be so influential? What kind of a screwed up democracy is the USA? Where is Congress in all of this?
Duh!
Trump is a fascist.
Mexico and China will add theirs and maybe other nations if this gets worst.
We sold our souls over egg prices.🤦
Trudeau's misadventures with Great India 🇮🇳 has landed him into Trump's tarriff….Canada's hard earned lessons.. 🇮🇳🇺🇸
Shame on MAGA! You voted for this!
Enjoy never affording a home America. Because… MAGA addicts are weak, with no self control and can’t say no? 😳
A trade war with America will supercharge the economy of BC and greatly benefit Western Canada: Asian products from the Port of Vancouver avoid the Panama Canal and avoid lots of CP Rail, while inflationary pressures from government intervention will greatly hit the Ontario and Québec real estate markets? BC has loads of aluminum products from India and loads of cast iron products from China without the added cost of the Panama Canal or CP Rail: Development in Western Canada will soon surpass Eastern Canada, while inflationary pressures will therefore be less in the West? Prayers
American beer sucks 🤮
The irony is that Trumps own hotels and golf courses will feel this as well because they serve food 🍱 he will blame it on the windmills 😂
fuamerica
If the US wants a zero Deficit then he should go to Heaven, Americans love foreign goods more than anybody in this world and they will never stop
hurt U.S. consumers? Nah, the country has a huge deficit, they have to be brought back to reality — pay higher taxes and/or run a leaner government.
The Tariff is a consumption tax. A *Sales Tax* so to speak. It is a way to raise tax revenue. It has nothing to do with punishing the exporting country.
BETRAYAL!!!!
Never Again.
The agent of chaos
You voted for this lol
Mexico, China and India were found in 2019 by Trumps DEA to be major source of Fentanyl to the United States (Source DEA-DCT-DIR-008-20). Shouldn’t Chinas tariffs be just as high?
Why is Trump not held accountable by breaking the free trade agreement USMCA? Where are the US and international trade laws? He is playing around, and not one is doing serious work to stop this mafia leader.
The markets and the prices react fast. Let's see if the Americans are ready for it.
These disruptions are going to last for years to come! He’s ruining our country
Wasn’t Canada why they created the term “war crimes?” I can see us create trade war crimes somehow 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine going from a win win ot a lose lose situation, that's horrible isn't it? 😮😢
This will be a huge hit for the tourist industry as well. The difference between the Canadian and US dollar is already significant. The tarrifs will stop Canadians going south and will look at other countries like Mexico, Cuba, Bahamas or other Caribbean countries.
Bottom line, ruining a long standing relationship with your neighbors is not the answer. Nobody likes a bully and retaliation is going to happen even if the USA is a super power. Theirs always options and other countries will reach out.
Come on everybody join the worldwide boycott of US goods and services
