President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Saturday imposing tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China.
The measures aimed at combating illegal migration and drug trafficking include a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico—with the exception of Canadian energy products, which will incur a 10% duty. In comparison, Mexican energy imports will face the full 25% rate. In response, Canada, China, and Mexico have taken steps to retaliate against the new tariffs.
Mr. Trump also invoked a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to support the tariffs, which grants broad authority to address crises.
