Summary

Trump signed an executive order imposing 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports—excluding Canadian energy at 10%—plus additional duties on Chinese products.

In response, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a 25% duty on $155 billion in U.S. goods, beginning with $30 billion in tariffs Tuesday.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum indicated reciprocal tariffs, rejecting claims that Mexico tolerates criminal groups trafficking fentanyl and insisting on respect for sovereignty.

Experts warn these tit-for-tat measures could drive up costs, disrupt supply chains, and mirror the previous U.S.-China trade war, possibly harming security.

    Can he also tell Google to NOT show both “names” for Gulf of Mexico in his country? This could spark a wave of international boycott of Trump’s petty bullshit.

      I just checked on mine, it says “Gulf of Mexico”. Perhaps it depends where a user is located?

        Idk when the change is implemented but Google said it would show

        • “Gulf of America” in the US
        • “Gulf of Mexico” in Mexico
        • Both names elsewhere

        Nothing has changed for Czech users yet.
