United States President Donald Trump's new tariffs on Mexico and Canada, along with a 10% bump to duties on Chinese goods, came into effect as of 12:01 am ET on Tuesday.
Imports from Canada and Mexico will now be taxed at 25%, with Canadian energy products hit by a lower 10% rate. The Trump administration also placed an additional 10% tariff on all imports from China, which came on top of the 10% duty imposed by Trump in February.
"While President Trump gave both Canada and Mexico ample opportunity to curb the dangerous cartel activity and influx of lethal drugs flowing into our country, they have failed to adequately address the situation," the White House said in a statement.
