President Donald Trump on Thursday postponed 25% tariffs on many imports from Mexico and some imports from Canada for a month amid widespread fears of the economic fallout from a broader trade war.The White House insists its tariffs are about stopping the smuggling of fentanyl, but the taxes proposed by Trump have caused a gaping wound in the decades-old North American trade partnership, and Canada has felt compelled to quickly take aggressive countermeasures. Trump's tariff plans have also caused the stock market to sink and alarmed U.S. consumers.In addition to his claims about fentanyl, Trump has insisted that the tariffs could be resolved by fixing the trade deficit and he emphasized while speaking in the Oval Office that he still plans to impose 맥스카지노�reciprocal맥스카지노� tariffs starting on April 2.맥스카지노�Most of the tariffs go on April the second,맥스카지노� Trump said before signing the orders. 맥스카지노�And then we have some temporary ones and small ones, relatively small, although it맥스카지노�s a lot of money having to do with Mexico and Canada.맥스카지노�Trump said he was not looking to extend the exemption on the 25% tariff for autos for another month.Imports from Mexico that comply with the 2020 USMCA trade pact would be excluded from the 25% tariffs for a month, according to the orders signed by Trump. Imports from Canada that comply with the trade deal would also avoid the 25% tariffs for a month, while the potash that U.S. farmers import from Canada would be tariffed at 10%, the same rate at which Trump wants to tariff Canadian energy products.Roughly 62% of imports from Canada would likely still face the new tariffs because they're not USMCA compliant, according to a White House official who insisted on anonymity to preview the orders on a call with reporters. Half of imports from Mexico that are not USCMA compliant would also be taxed under the orders being signed by Trump, the official said.Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum has planned to announce any retaliatory measures on Sunday, but Trump credited her with making progress on illegal immigration and drug smuggling as a reason for again pausing tariffs that were initially supposed to go into full effect in February.맥스카지노�I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum," Trump said on Truth Social.

But the U.S. imposed the tariffs, so she asked Trump 맥스카지노�how are we going to continue cooperating, collaborating with something that hurts the people of Mexico?맥스카지노�She added that 맥스카지노�practically all of the trade맥스카지노� between the U.S. and Mexico will be exempt from tariffs until April 2.She said the two countries will continue to work together on migration and security, and to cut back on fentanyl trafficking to the U.S.From January to February, the amount of fentanyl seized at the border dropped more than 41%, according to Sheinbaum, citing data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
