The “he took his gun” and started a trade war with , Mexico and China imposed high tariffs on products coming from these countries. However, it does not stop there and no longer promises customs duties for products from the EU. Donald Trump announced on Sunday (2.2.2025) that its products imported into the US “very soon” will in turn become the target of the policy of increasing its tariffs, following the highest costs announced for goods from Canada, Mexico and China. CORVERSE “We really get exploited, you know, we have a $300 billion deficit. They do not buy our cars, our agricultural products, almost nothing, and we take them all, millions of vehicles, huge levels of agricultural products,” he stressed in the press. “I have no timetable, but very soon” higher customs duties will be imposed on EU products, he insisted. Open to talks with Canada and Mexico Trump announced that he will be discussing this morning with the Canadian Prime Minister under resignation Justin Tridot, as well as with the Mexican government, after the imposition of 25% duties on imported products from both countries. “I will discuss with Prime Minister Tridot tomorrow morning, I will also talk to Mexico tomorrow morning, I do not expect anything very dramatic. We went on to impose customs duties because they owe us a lot of money, they are sure to pay,” Mr Trump told the press before leaving his residence in Mar-a-Lago for Washington. CORVERSE The Republican continued to deal particularly with Canada, stressing that the northern neighbour of his country “does not allow our banks” to operate on its market, which “if you think about it is incredible. They’re hard on oil and energy. They do not allow (to be made available) our agricultural products”. “Generally, there’s a lot they don’t allow. And we allow them to import everything into our country, that’s unique. We subsidize Canada with over $200 billion a year and that’s the price?”, estimator. He also announced that if Justin Trido does his promise to go countermeasures, he would add additional duties to Canadian products. After the White House accused the government yesterday Saturday under President Claudia Shainbaum of having formed a “college” with the drug cartels, Donald Trump showed a more conciliating face to his country’s southern neighbour, confirming that he had “good talks” with her government. Customs duties are only ‘a form of retaliation’ because ‘millions of people enter our country from Mexico and Canada and we are not prepared to allow this anymore’. This time he did not refer to fentanyl , opioid incriminated for a terrifying public health crisis in the US, the reason he invoked in his executive order to impose duties on China, Canada and Mexico. Furthermore, asked for customs duties on products imported from the EU by his country, the Republican assured that he intends to decide “very soon”, although he clarified that he does not yet have a “timeline”. ‘They take advantage of us (…) We have a $300 billion deficit. They do not buy our cars or our agricultural products, almost nothing, while we buy them all, millions of vehicles, huge levels of agricultural products,” he once again argued.
