Trump has proposed a 10% tariff on Chinese goods and a 25% tariff on products from Canada and Mexico. This marks his first specific tariff threat since the election, raising concerns in markets and among Canadian officials. Trudeau is under pressure to enhance border security and defense spending to address U.S. concerns. Canada and the U.S. share a significant trading relationship, valued at over $900 billion annually, which could be impacted by Trump's tariff plans.
