    United States: US President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose a 10 percent tariff on imports of Chinese-made goods as early as February 1, citing concerns over the export of fentanyl to Mexico and Canada.

    Speaking at a press conference in Washington, Trump blamed both China and the European Union for what he described as unfair trade practices. Trump stated that, “China is an abuser, but the European Union is very, very bad to us. They treat us very, very badly. Tariffs are the only way to get back fairness.”

    Trump’s administration has also threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on Mexico and Canada, accusing the neighbouring nations of encouraging undocumented migration and drug trafficking into the United States. In response, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed to retaliate, stating that, “everything is on the table.” Canada is reportedly readying counter-tariffs worth billions of dollars.

    Shortly after taking office, Trump directed federal agencies to inspect existing trade deals to identify unfair practices by US trading partners. The move aligns with his campaign promise to set steep tariffs on Chinese goods, with rates as high as 60 percent.

    In a related development, China’s Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang called for “win-win” solutions to trade disputes at the World Economic Forum in Davos but avoided direct connections to the US. Tariffs form a core part of Trump’s economic strategy, aimed at boosting growth, protecting American jobs, and raising tax revenues.

    However, many economists warn that such measures could result in higher consumer prices and provoke retaliatory actions that harm US businesses. China, Canada, and Mexico remain the top trading allies of the United States. As tensions escalate, the potential for significant global trade disruptions looms large.
