Trump: new tariffs could cause Americans “some pain”

Sun, Feb 2, 2025 at 11:39 pm

President Trump says his newly announced tariffs could cause “some pain” for Americans. With tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China taking effect this week, the emerging trade war could lead to higher prices. The president admitted that Americans could feel “some pain” in the short term, but claimed “it will all be worth the price that must be paid.” He repeatedly bashed Joe Biden for high inflation and, now, the Trump tariffs threaten to raise the price of cars, gasoline, clothes, toys, and avocados.

Trump Signs Order Imposing Tariffs On China, Mexico, and Canada

Sat, Feb 1, 2025 at 9:48 pm

President Donald Trump has signed an order to impose stiff tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China. President Trump is declaring an economic emergency to put duties of 10% on all imports from China and 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada — America’s largest trading partners — except for a 10% rate on Canadian oil. The move fulfills Mr. Trump’s campaign promise but also raises the prospect of increased prices for American consumers. The White House says the order also includes a mechanism to escalate the rates if the countries retaliate as they have threatened.
