Donald Trump said the U.S. will impose an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods, escalating trade tensions. He also confirmed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, set to take effect on March 4. Trump blamed the countries for failing to curb fentanyl trafficking, stating, “Drugs are still pouring into our country.” China has vowed retaliatory tariffs. Economists warn these measures could raise U.S. consumer prices and hurt investment.
