  • President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on goods imported from Mexico, Canada and China, sending shocks through the global supply chain and raising fears about consumer costs.

The article from MSN discusses the potential escalation of trade tensions due to former President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China.

There are concerns about retaliation from the affected countries, which could impose their own tariffs on U.S. goods, further complicating international trade relations. The article highlights the economic implications, including higher prices for goods, potential job losses in industries reliant on exports, and the broader impact on global trade dynamics.
