The United States and its biggest trade partners stated that Canada, Mexico, and China would adopt measures against new tariffs imposed by President Trump, and had rushed in a new era of protectionism on Sundays.
From honey to tomatoes, clothing to toilets, a wide range of American products across borders in Canada are worth more than $ 100 billion, and are immediately accomplished by 25 % tariffs.
“We don't want to be here,” said Justin Trudeau, a gloomy speech from Ottawa on Saturday night, about a deep bond between his neighbors. “We didn't want this.”
On Sunday, China said, “We will take measures to respond and protect its rights and profits.” He also stated that the World Trade Organization would take legal measures.
In a video released on Sunday, Mexico's President Claudia Shainbaum said it would announce the first step in the so -called plan B plan if it could not reach the United States. Symbaum had previously warned of retaliation “tariffs and non -criminal measures.”
This policy announced by Trump on Saturday and Mexico has earned 25 % of the customs engraved for Canada's energy and oil export. They should be taxed at 10 %. He also put a 10 % tariff on Chinese products.
He also ordered an end to an American ability to buy up to 800 dollars from each country without paying tariffs. The fact that online companies such as TEMU and Shein were transported directly from a Chinese factory to an American house and bypassed the US retailers was a huge hit for huge companies.
Taxes are implemented immediately after midnight on Tuesday and added on existing tariffs. Removing a small amount of cargo from all three countries must start paying all other tariffs that have been accumulated not only for new tariffs but also in clothing and other consumer goods for many years. That means.
Trump defended tariffs on Sunday and acknowledged that they could affect them. “Is there any pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!),” He said in a social media post in the early morning.
Mr. Trump states that customs duties intend to reduce the flow of the fatal opioidofentanil that crosses borders. (But there are very few traffic between people from Canada and illegal drugs.) He suggested that it was worth it if there was economic pain.
When Mr. Trump imposed tariffs on China during his first term in the White House, some studies showed that some of the costs were handed to American consumers. Chinese suppliers often reduced prices to offset some of the cost of tariffs.
Most Republican members of Congress have silenced and praised Trump's tariffs, despite their members have expressed their anxiety about rising prices.
Senator Land Paul in Kentucky, a rare Republican member who regularly criticizes the president, was an exception. “Customs duties are just taxes,” he said in social media. “Conservatives once united against new taxes. Taxed trade means that trade decreases and prices are higher.”
If other Republican members shared Paul's belief that the economy might be hit, they kept it in themselves.
“Ohio is open for business and develops red carpets for the manufacturing of the US company!”
The leaders were also lined up.
“I support what the president is doing,” said John Barasso in Wyoming, a second Republican member of the Senate, said in Fox News on Sunday. “We need to remove Fentanyl. We need to tell China not only to Mexico, but also to China to kick out Fentanyl from our country.”
The Democratic Party spent the weekend and sent a message that Trump is responsible for making his life more expensive in the United States.
“With one reckless movement,” GABE Vasquez, a Democratic member of New Mexico, said. From avocados to tequila. “
It was unknown how successful China would be in a World Trade Organization, which has lost many ability to deal with such legal issues since the United States began to block the judge's appointment in Trump's first term. The WTO appealed agency lost the judge due to expired conditions, and had not been able to form a fixed number of feet since the end of 2019.
The organization can continue to form a panel to edit reports on the benefits of the case, but the report cannot go to the appealing agency for legal binding decisions.
When Mr. Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese products during his first term, China responded every time with tariffs on exports in the United States, China was sold to the United States much more than purchasing, so he quickly ran out the product to apply for tariffs.
Last month, US law enforcement officers called for the end of tax exemption from China. They accused the United States permit a considerable amount of Fentanyl and related supplies because the customs had hardly received or at all.
In a Sunday statement, the Ministry of Commerce has urged the United States to “watch and process fentanyl and other problems in an objective and reasonable way, rather than threaten other countries with tariffs.” The Ministry of Foreign Affairs defended China's records on the issue and said that it had led the world in 2019 when strict regulations were imposed on fentanyl -related substances.
The true causes of the trend of Fentanyl death in the United States are not large -scale production or exports by drugs, but large -scale production or exports of chemicals used to make drugs, not exports by drug China. I am claiming. 。
Mexico's president, Symbaum, took the same posture on Sunday.
“If they want to act,” she said, “They should not aim at Mexico, and should aim at their own country, which did nothing to stop the illegal sales of other drugs. “
Symbaum said he is still waiting for Trump's response to the security of the two countries and the establishment of a working group in the health authorities to work on Fentanyl issues.
When he announced a new tariff in Canada on Saturday, Mr. Todeau said that he would talk directly to the Americans and harm the US tariffs on Canadian products.
“This is a choice to harm Canadians, but beyond that, it will bring you a true result,” he said. “As I said consistently, tariffs on Canada could expose your job and stop American car assembly plants and other manufacturing facilities.”
Ontario and the Canadian state in Novascocia have announced that the government owned by the government will draw the United States, beer, wine and spirit. The Ontario liquor committee imports approximately $ 1 billion ($ 69 billion) each year.
One State in Canada has adopted a more targeted approach and has selected US areas where Trump's support for policy is particularly powerful.
In British Colombia, Prime Minister David Ebie has announced that the state will stop selling alcohol produced in the Red State.
