US neighbors hit with 25% tariff and China with 10% as Trudeau pledges ‘forceful but reasonable’ response

Donald Trump will impose sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China on Saturday, the White House said, potentially setting the stage for a damaging trade war between the US and three of its biggest trading partners.

Goods exported from Canada and Mexico to the US will be hit with a 25% tariff, while products from China face a 10% levy, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, told reporters on Friday.
