Trump Prepares Executive Order for Steep Tariffs on Goods from Mexico, Canada, and China

President Donald Trump is reportedly drafting an executive order to impose steep tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China. The proposed tariffs, which could range from 15% to 30%, target key industries such as automotive, steel, and electronics. The move is seen as an effort to revive Trump’s “America First” trade policies and address perceived trade imbalances.
Sources close to the matter indicate that the order could be signed as early as next week. Critics argue that such tariffs could lead to higher prices for consumers and strain international trade relations. Mexican and Canadian officials have expressed concern, warning of potential retaliatory measures. China, a major trading partner, has labeled the proposal as “economic provocation.”
A spokesperson for Trump stated, “This executive order is about protecting American jobs and ensuring fair trade practices. We cannot allow other nations to take advantage of the United States.”
