Trump imposes tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, spurring trade war as North American allies respond

Quick Summary:

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump on Saturday signed an order to impose stiff tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China, drawing swift retaliation and an undeniable sense of betrayal from the country’s North American neighbors as a trade war erupted among the longtime allies.

Trump declared an economic emergency in order to place duties of 10 percent on all imports from China and 25 percent on imports from Mexico and Canada.

The premier of the Canadian province of British Columbia, David Eby, specifically called on residents to stop buying liquor from US “red” states and said it was removing American alcohol brands from government store shelves as a response to the tariffs.
