A bit more than 50 days before taking the oath of office a second time, Trump took to social media this week to threaten the top three U.S. trading partners (Mexico, Canada, China). He vowed to impose tariffs of 25% on all products coming from our next-door neighbors, and to levy an additional 10% import duty on goods from America’s Asian rival.

Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the United States should President-elect Donald Trump follow through on his threat to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products,

The president-elect said that he would impose the across-the-board tariffs on Day 1 and that they would stay in place until Canada, Mexico and China halted the flow of drugs and migrants.
