President Donald Trump’s planned tariffs—25% on Mexican and Canadian imports and 10% on Chinese goods—have been postponed for one month following last-minute negotiations. The tariffs, initially aimed at curbing illegal immigration and trade imbalances, sparked immediate backlash and retaliatory measures.
Mexico committed to stronger drug enforcement, and Canada agreed to appoint a “fentanyl czar” and enhance border security. China imposed counter-tariffs and export controls. Mexico agreed to sending 10,000 troops to the border while Canada is committed to strengthening the border as part of a 1.3 billion dollar plan. While the delay offers temporary relief, it is important to recognize the potential of inflation and supply chain disruptions if the tariffs proceed.
