Trump’s Tariff Policies Escalate Global Trade Tensions

New U.S. tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, alongside threats to the EU, risk triggering a global trade war.

Donald Trump has imposed tariffs of up to 25% on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, citing trade imbalances and border security concerns.
Temporary agreements with Canada and Mexico have delayed the tariffs for 30 days in exchange for stricter border enforcement measures.
China has responded with its own tariffs on U.S. goods and plans to challenge the U.S. measures through the World Trade Organization.
European leaders are preparing for potential U.S. tariffs on EU imports, with discussions of retaliatory measures and negotiations underway.
Economic experts warn that escalating trade conflicts could disrupt global supply chains, increase consumer costs, and strengthen China's economic influence in Latin America.
