President Donald Trump has signed a Presidential order that issues tariffs on products from Canada, Mexico, and China to the United States, raising the risk of trade war with the closest to the United States, and raising all the prices from cars to avocado. He threatened to pull up.
The only product exempted from tariffs is Canada’s energy products, “10 % of tariffs will be reduced to minimize the destructive effects that may affect gasoline and home heating crude oil prices.” Administrative officials said.
The United States will start collecting tariffs on Canadian products on Tuesday. It is unknown when the tariffs between Mexico and China will be enforced.

Customs duties, like tax, are paid by companies that import products to the United States. A variety of companies that warned the negative economic impact on tariffs on companies and consumers, from housing builders to alcohol producers, have warned companies and consumers.
“Inspecting additional tariffs on these imports will lead to higher material costs, and eventually will be handed over to housing buyers in the form of rising housing prices,” he said. Carl Harris says.
“The destruction of the supply chain due to an increase in tariffs, combined with the increase in material demand, may hinder the rebuilding in areas affected by natural disasters.
Some companies try to procure products elsewhere, but other companies without alternative means will be forced to pay. In other words, our grocery store has a high cost of fruits and vegetables grown in Mexico. Housing builders will pay more for Canada wood. Automakers also need to pay tariffs each time the component crosses the north or south border. This occurs repeatedly during a single vehicle.
Companies need to determine whether these higher costs to consumers or absorb them. This effect can be widely reached throughout the US economic because American consumers and companies import more products from Mexico than any other country.

“We don’t want to support the use of tariffs in order to stop the power of a company that stops the closure of plants and suppresses the power of companies that capture US workers to workers in other countries.” President Sean Fein said. “However, so far, Trump’s anti -working policy at home, including eliminating collective bargaining agreements and taking the national labor -related committee, has taken aggressive tariff measures by the government. However, we leave American workers facing the deteriorated wages and working conditions.
Trump has created tariffs at the center of his campaign pitch to improve the economy quoted as a reason for many voters to return him to the White House. He argues that tax will protect American industries from unfair competition by encouraging taxation to make foreign products more expensive and manufacturing in the United States.
“This is a beautiful and beautiful example that President Trump has held,” said a government official.
However, Economist has found that Trump did almost nothing to achieve its goals of tariffs imposed on China during his first term. Instead, they raised the price of many imported products, led to pure losses in the manufacturing industry and a reduction in corporate investment. Almost all income collected from Trump’s previous tariffs against China went to pay for the US peasants, and in accordance with the loss from China’s tariffs.

Most of Trump’s tariff threats in his campaign focused on China, but he has been focusing on Canada and Mexico since it was selected. The two countries will vow for retaliation, which will compete with American products in the precincts and hurt the US business that sells there. Car, oil and gas, electronic devices, industrial equipment, and agricultural products are one of the top US exports to Canada and Mexico.
“What we have seen in this kind of situation in which the United States has spent tariffs on other countries is an attempt to target a truly sensitive stakeholders and a place.” Wiley Rein’s trade lawyer GRETA PEISCH stated.

The US automotive industry is one of the most vulnerable to the impact on tariffs. For decades, the supply chain has been greatly intertwined with neighbors in the north and south. If the vehicle and components cross the boundary many times during the production process, the cost of the vehicle may increase rapidly if the collection of 25 % is repeated.
The United States also depends on Mexico food, one of the top suppliers of tomatoes, avocado, berry and pepper. The rise in food prices is the biggest concern for consumers and voters, and the cost of food has increased by about 25 % in the past four years. Customs can raise the price of beer and alcohol imported from Mexico.

In addition to immigrants, Trump and members of the Diet have raised concerns that China may use Mexico as a back door to the United States to avoid paying tariffs. Mexico has seen the rapid increase of manufacturers relocating from China as a way to avoid Trump’s tariffs on China during his first term.
