Trump plans tariffs on Mexico, and Canada, increased tariffs on China
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says if the United States imposes tariffs, his country has billion of dollars' worth of U.S. products that'll be subject to tariffs as well. President Donald Trump says he plans to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting Tuesday and double the 10% universal tariff charged on imports from China. The Republican president says illicit drugs such as fentanyl are being smuggled into the United States at "unacceptable levels" and import taxes would force other countries to crack down on the trafficking. China's commerce minister says differences on international trade should be resolved through negotiations. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says she hopes she and Trump can reach an agreement.

Trump doubles tariffs on Canadian metals; Ontario backs down on electricity price hikes
President Donald Trump says he will double his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% for Canada. He's escalating a trade war with the United States' northern neighbor and standing unmoved by recent stock market turmoil and rising recession risks. Trump said on social media that the increase of the tariffs set to take effect on Wednesday is a response to the price hikes that the provincial government of Ontario put on electricity sold to the United States. That prompted Ontario on Tuesday to back down on its planned surcharges on electricity sold to the United States.
