Mexico, Canada order retaliatory tariffs on US

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said in a lengthy X post blasting Trump’s move that she instructed the “Secretary of Economy to implement Plan B that we have been working on, which includes tariff and non-tariff measures in defense of Mexico’s interests.” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, meanwhile, was more explicit, announcing 25% tariffs on $155 billion of U.S. goods in a Saturday night press conference.
The announcements from both countries’ leaders come after Trump ordered a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican goods exported to the United States, as well as a 10% tariff on Canadian energy resources. The tariffs are slated to take effect at midnight on Tuesday.
