In the first days of Hurricane Trump, the absence of tariff measures with Canada and Mexico has been a surprise. The promised tariffs are 25%. In the case of Mexico to curb, according to Trump, migration and drug trafficking to the United States, especially fentanyl. At the moment, according to the Trump Administration, they are evaluating the measures, but promise that the tariff threat will be executed shortly. Canada has frankly taken the announcement of these measures badly but is willing to negotiate so that these measures are not carried out, given the good relationship that Canada and the United States have maintained with third countries, such as China. Trump’s arguments for this tariff “punishment” are political. tariffs are of a political nature. Trump has claimed that both Canada and Mexico, he said, have. “allowed millions and millions of people to come into our country who shouldn’t be here. They could have stopped them, and they didn’t.”
In addition, the money raised by the tariffs, valued at several trillion dollars, would go to fund programs related to immigration, energy and taxes.
Canada threatens more tariffs in response, while the Aluminum Association of Canada leads the Canada-U.S. Trade Council. THE ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION OF CANADA LEADS THE CANADA-U.S. TRADE COUNCIL. For its part, the Aluminum Association favors tariff-free trade in North America, something that would be necessary for the U.S.-based industry’s more than $10 billion in recent investments to pay off and bear fruit.
