TORONTO — Canada and Mexico ordered retaliatory tariffs on American goods in response to sweeping tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump said Feb. 2 that Americans could feel “some pain” from the emerging trade war triggered by his tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China.

The threat of tariffs has loomed large over U.S. equities. Investors and strategists warn that high levies can reignite inflation in the country, and in turn, weigh on stocks.

The potential fallout depends on the specifics of what President Donald Trump announces. It also depends on how Canada and Mexico respond.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will put in place 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and 10% tariffs on goods from China effective Feb. 1, the White House said.

Tariffs that President Donald Trump plans to slap on imports from Canada and Mexico as soon as this weekend could drive up the price of  gasoline, pickup trucks, avocados and more.

President Donald Trump said his 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are coming on Feb. 1, but he’s still considering whether to include oil from those countries as part of his import taxes.

The Canadian candidate for prime minister said she believes Trump is smart and is threatening to impose tariffs on allies in part to pave the way for tougher policies on China.

Trimac Transportation acquired flatbed and specialized haulage carrier Watt & Stewart for an undisclosed sum.

A candidate running to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s prime minister is calling for an international summit to develop a response to President Donald Trump’s economic threats.
