Washington: The United States has implemented tariffs on imports from China, Mexico, and Canada, with President Donald Trump planning additional tariffs in the near future.
Imposing taxes on foreign imports has been a key component of Trump's economic vision. The president views these tariffs as a means to boost the American economy, protect jobs for U.S. citizens, and increase government revenue. During his election campaign, Trump assured Americans that the cost of these tariffs would be borne by foreign countries rather than U.S. consumers.
According to the latest details, the U.S. plans to impose a 25% tariff on aluminum and steel imports starting March 12. Last month, President Trump described these tariffs as a "big deal," calling them the beginning of making America prosperous again.
Additionally, from April 2, the U.S. will impose tariffs on foreign agricultural products. However, specific details regarding which products will be affected and which may receive exemptions remain unclear.
The president has also announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on imported vehicles. Furthermore, he has ordered an investigation into copper and wood imports, though no timeline has been provided for potential tariffs on these materials.
