Trudeau has announced a tax that is comparable to the tax for the White House, and has promised Sheinbaum to take rate -and not -Tariff measures. China will submit a complaint to the WTO.
President Donald Trump achieved his commercial threats on Saturday by imposing 25 % rates on products from their direct neighbors, Canada and Mexico, in addition to another 10 % rate for China products.
The measure was signed in three executive orders separately in the private home of Trump in Mar-A-Lago in Florida, and will come into effect on Washington hours on Tuesday 4 February at 00:01.
In all cases, the argument used was the involvement of some way of the three countries in the Fentanyl traffic and other medicines Towards the United States “where social substances endanger”, with very thick accusations against the governments of Mexico and Beijing.
The three orders contain a threat so that the affected countries do not respond with similar measurements of retribution, at the fine of increasing the percentage of rates or the scope of the products, but ignored both Canada and Mexico and announced their few hours for a few hours measures.
President Claudia Sheinbaum He answered in X: “We categorically reject the defamation of the White House to the government of Mexico to have alliances with criminal organizations, as well as any interference intention on our territory.”
He did not stay there and Sheinbaum announced “rate and not -Tariff measures to defend the interests of Mexico”, something that assumed “plan B” and that the secretary of the economy will apply in the coming days.
Canada did not remain crossed either: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Shortly after knowing Trump’s decision, he announced that his government will take reprisals and will tax 25 % of $ 155,000 million (around 149,584 million euros) in trade with the US.
As advanced by the Canadian leader, Canada will burden 30,000 million dollars in US input from Tuesday.
Another $ 121,000 million in trade will be taxed 21 days later “to allow Canadian companies and supply chains to look for alternatives.”
For his part, China He assured this Sunday that he will take the “corresponding countermeasures” to “strongly report his rights and interests”.
“China opposes these rates,” said the Chinese Ministry of Trade today in a statement in which he announced that it will submit a question for the World Trade Organization (WTO) for the US “illegal practices”.
