Trump’s tariff raises revenge on Mexico, China and Canada Trump administration


Donald Trump’s tariff imposed on Mexico, Canada and China has sparked revenge on the three countries. Mexico and Canada pledged their graphics while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges.

The Ministry of Finance was published in Canada existing Among the American products imported to Canada, with a 25 % retaliatory tariff will be targeted on Tuesday.

The list displays the products that will be struck in the first round of reprisal definitions by Canada starting on Tuesday, and escalating to the goods of $ 30 billion (about 20 billion US dollars). The affected products include tobacco, products, home appliances, firearms and military equipment.

Canada is also preparing for a broader round of revenge definitions in 21 days that will target an additional amount of $ 125 billion ($ 86 billion) of US imports. The second menu will include passenger compounds, trucks, steel products, aluminum, some fruits, vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more.

Claudia Shinbom, President of Mexico, said her government will provide more details about the reprisals she requested on American goods on Monday.

Shinbom, in a statement on Sunday, will announce details of the “plan B” for her government because she insisted that Mexico “does not want to confront.”

She said, “The problems are not addressed by imposing a tariff, but with talks and dialogue,” she said.

Shinbom and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke on Saturday after the Trump administration imposed the new customs tariff – 25 % on the goods from Canada and Mexico, at a rate of 10 % for Canadian oil, and 10 % on imports from China.

The Trudeau office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed to “strengthen strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials had an intense dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a major Canadian official said he would not go to the point that the customs tariff responses had been coordinated.

“It is time to choose the products made here in Canada,” Trudeau posted on Sunday to X. “Check the stickers. Let’s do our role. Wherever we can, choose Canada.”

Canada hopes that the customs duties will not enter on Tuesday, but the Canadian public expects its government to stand in a commercial dispute with Washington, the Canadian ambassador said.

“I think the Canadian people will expect our government to be firm and defend themselves,” Ambassador Kirsten Hellman told ABC News.

“We are certainly not looking to escalate, but we will defend Canada,” Trudeau said late on Saturday.

However, on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada said to inform journalists in Ottawa, provided that his identity is not disclosed: “It is clear that we will continue the legal asylum that we believe we have through the agreements we share with the United States.”

The official said that the Canadian government considered this step by Trump illegal and said that it violates trade obligations between the two countries under the Free Trade Agreement and under the World Trade Organization.

The official said: “If other legal methods are available to us, they will be considered so.”

Canada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest commercial partner for the United States.

Canada and Mexico ordered the definitions despite Trump’s additional threat to increase the duties to which the accusation is being charged if the revenge fees are placed on American goods.

China also said it would file a lawsuit against definitions. In a statement, the Ministry of Commerce said that the imposition of definitions by the United States “violates” the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

The file of a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization will also be a large step that Beijing has also taken against definitions of Chinese electric cars by the European Union.

The Ministry of Commerce also said that the definitions were not “not only useful in solving the problems of the United States, but also undermining natural economic and commercial cooperation.” China said it would take counter -procedures to “protect its rights and interests.” It is not exactly clear the shape that this will take yet. But for weeks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said that Beijing believes that there is no winner in a commercial war.

Besides the official response, people were already thinking of ways to deal with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media to obtain alternatives to American products.

Canadian hockey fans formulated the American national anthem on Saturday night in two national matches in the Hockey League. The rise continued on Sunday in the American Professional League game in Toronto, where Raptors played the role of Los Angeles Clippers.

A fans of the Raptors game chose to sit while the hymn while wearing the Canada hat. Joseph Choa, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the definitions “directly.”

“I have always stood during both the hymn. I took out my hat to show respect for the American national anthem, but today we feel bitter things,” adding that it will begin to avoid buying American products.

In Mexico, general data on the threat of customs tariffs was limited to saying that the government is ready and that it will guarantee respecting the country.

On the streets, the Mexicans were trying to absorb the advertisement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were not aware of measures.

In the border city of Mexicali, on the other side of Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the broader effects of the trade war.

Driver Alejandro Acosta says it crosses the weekly borders in his truck to connect vegetables to American companies. He said he feared that companies in the Mexicali Valley will not want to work in Mexico and will move to the United States.

“If they raise taxes on factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.
