Описание

President Donald Trump announced plans to levy 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada as early as February 1st, citing border concerns. Trump labeled Canada a very bad abuser and tied the proposed tariffs to fentanyl trafficking issues. The tariffs are part of broader efforts to reform U.S. trade policies, including a new External Revenue Service to collect duties. Trump also hinted at using tariffs as leverage in TikTok negotiations with China, contingent on finding a U.S. partner for the app. Stock market futures fell and the dollar weakened following the announcement, while Treasury yields declined.
