  • American importers will pay a new 25 percent tax on goods from Canada and Mexico and a 10 percent levy on products from China.

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. This executive order was part of Trump's broader "America First" trade policy aimed at protecting U.S. industries from what he described as unfair trade practices.

The move was also seen as a strategic play in ongoing negotiations for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and other trade deals, with implications for international trade relations and global economic stability.
