President Donald Trump has officially launched a global trade war, sending markets into chaos and wiping out billions overnight. On Tuesday, the US slapped heavy tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China, with Trump confirming that no more negotiations will take place.
The numbers are brutal: 25% on all goods from Mexico, 25% on nearly everything from Canada except energy, 10% on Canadian energy imports, and 20% on many Chinese goods. Canada immediately hit back with 25% tariffs on $155 billion worth of US exports.
