London – Canadian sports lovers, angry with unilateral imposing President Trump 25% of tariffs For almost everything that was imported from Canada, it responded ice to a banner with the stars while she was singing at hockey and basketball games over the weekend. Many raised the American anthem in unusual frustration exhibitions after more than 150 years of peaceful, friendly relations along the huge limits separated by neighbors.

The reaction was representative on Monday for injured feelings both north and south of the borders of the US mainland. Best officials in Canada and Mexico, who both faced 25% tariffs It was expected that with the stroke of Mr. Trump’s pen on Saturday, he would talk to the White House on the way forward in the new trade war that Mr. Trump threatened for months. Both countries were promised to respond to their own trade measures.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced in a short statement Monday on social media that, after a phone call with Mr. Trump, Tariffs imposed on her country were “on a break In a month “On Monday. She said that Mr. Trump agreed to put the measures to wait after it was committed to increasing the Mexico border with the US” with 10,000 members of the National Guard to prevent drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States. “

Mr. Trump confirmed a break in his own post on social media, saying that the newly arranged Mexican forces “would be specially marked to stop the flow of fental and illegal migrants to our country.”

Sheinbaum said that Mr. Trump “committed to work to prevent weapons trade with great power in Mexico.”

China also hit the new Tariff rabbit and warned that she would react in Nature too. In the meantime, the main American allies and trade partners in Europe have warned Mr. Trump that the European Union is next on his list, while the United Kingdom seems to have a chance to negotiate a trade agreement, but that she will be torn between her neighbor in the neighborhood and her A “special relationship” with the US if he hopes to avoid the same fate.

Canada is the largest export of products that come from 36 US countries, according to Reuters news agency, while Mexico is widely considered the largest American trade partner.

Below is a view of some reactions of countries now facing new US tariffs, which will take effect on Tuesday, and those that can still hope to avoid them.

Canada:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government has no other choice but to return from 25% of tariffs to more than $ 150 billion worth of importing US design.

“First, I want to talk directly to Americans, our closest friends and neighbors,” Trudeau said. “This is a choice that will, yes, harm the Canadians, but in addition, it will have real consequences for you, the American people.”

“Like US tariffs, our answer will also be far reach and include daily objects such as American beer, wine and bourbon. Fruits and fruit juices, including orange juice, along with vegetables, perfume, clothing and shoes. will large consumer products such as household appliances, furniture and sports equipment and materials like wood and plastic, along with a lot, much more. “

“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau added to his own voters in a post on social networks. “Check the stickers. Let’s do your part. Wherever we can, select Canada.”

The first round of Canadian tariffs will begin at midnight on Monday night – on US goods worth $ 30 billion. In 21 days, the rest of the tariff will be started, covering an additional $ 125 billion in product unless a new agreement between the countries is reached. The delay, Trudeau said, aimed to provide Canadian companies time to seek a supply chain possibilities to alleviate a financial blow.

In an interview with ABC News on Sunday, the Canadian ambassador to the United States, in Kirsten Hillman, said many people in her country are “just don’t understand where it comes from … And probably, there are few hurt.”

Mexico:

The Canadian government is now looking south of the US border, hoping that it will gather and increase trade connections with Mexico to help both countries absorb the influence of Mr. Trump’s tariff. The two countries agreed “to increase the strong bilateral relations” they share, and officials had extensive bilateral meetings with their colleagues.

President Sheinbaum, who had already mocked Mr. Trump’s move to rename the Gulf of Mexican to the US Bay, said on social media before the announced break announced countermeasures against American tariffs It will be implemented soon.

“I ordered my Minister of Economy to implement the plan B where we worked, which includes tariff and non-Tariff measures in defense of Mexico’s interests,” Sheinbaum said, not stating what goods her goods could aim, or whether she would try to reconcile 25% of tariff retaliation that Canada will need to be imposed.

Mexican goods exported to the United States are wide and include vehicles and other components of auto industry, raw oil, natural gas, avocado, tomato, pork and cheese.

China:

For Beijing it was a deja. During the first term of Mr. Trump, he struck 25% of tariffs on Chinese goods worth $ 200 billion, and then 10% to an additional $ 300 billion in imports, which meant almost everything Chinese was targeted.

The Chinese Ministry of Trade has announced a statement over the weekend by saying that Beijing “is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed” a new 10% tariff, that the US “one -sided increase in tariffs seriously violates WTO rules”, and China will file a lawsuit from the World Trade Organization and take appropriate countermeasures “, which implies that Beijing will impose 10% of tariff retaliation on the selected goods made in the US.

In Sunday’s statement, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not give up the advice on what measures could come, but said “in the United States to correct their injustice, maintain a hard positive dynamics in collaboration with Colternarcotics and promote permanent, healthy and sustainable relations development China-Us. “

The Ministry has announced that the US should “see” see and solve their own question of the fental in an objective and rational way, “instead of” threatening other countries arbitrarily increasing the tariff. ”

Mr. Trump said that he partly imposes a new 10% tariff on Chinese goods because of what he believes that Beijing’s failure stops the flow of fental and chemicals used to make the drug.

The Peking Ministry in Beijing said that China “is one of the most difficult countries in the world at Counternarcotics, both in terms of politics and in its implementation.”

European Union:

Mr. Trump said over the weekend that tariffs were coming to the European Union, but he did not say when or how steep it would be.

“It will definitely happen to the European Unic. I can tell you that they are us, because they really used us,” US president told reporters on Sunday. “They don’t take our cars, they don’t take our farms. They take almost nothing, and we take everything from them.”

European leaders met on Monday in Brussels, where they talked about how to collectively address the threat.

“We listened carefully to those words, and of course, we are preparing on our side as well,” said EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas on Monday in Brussels, adding a warning that “there are no winners in trade wars.”

If Trump’s administration “starts a trade war [with Europe]Then he is the one who laughs on the side of China, “Kallas said.” We are very interconnected. “

Chancellor Olaf Scholz, leader of the largest European economy, Germany, said that the EU was strong enough to take a blow and respond to all US tariffs, but added that “the goal should be that things result in cooperation” in Europe.

For a quick fact, check the criticism of Mr. Trump: He is not wrong for the trade relationship between the US and his close allies throughout the Atlantic. By November 2024. The EU has performed a $ 78 billion trade deficit with USA, according to Economic analysis bureauAnd the reports say it is on the way to being a new record.

A question that many economic analysts and politicians around the world will continue to ask whether the huge tariffs that tax that trade are likely to help balance books.

United Kingdom:

In an interview with reporters early Monday, Mr. Trump said “the UK is wrong, but … I think it can be elaborated,” suggesting that his administration was at least willing to negotiate with London about a new bilateral trade agreement.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Sunday that he had talked to Mr. Trump and emphasized that he wanted a “strong trade relationship” with the USA, but the leader of the UK, five years after “Brexit“Withdrawal from the European Union, now one can find one caught between the terrible EU trade forces on its threshold and Washington.

Mr. Trump’s tariffs about the EU -Ui his rush, if the mitigated threats to hit Britain with the same, he will complicate Starmer’s efforts to “reset” trade bonds in the UK with the EU. He was headed by the first Government of the Labor Party in the UK in a decade and a half, and that was the former conservative leadership launched Brexit and threw out many years of close ties with Europe.

Starmer moved cautiously as he intended to repair the EU fences, cautiously take care of conservative voters supported by Brexit and who, to some extent, support populist politicians such as Trump’s, harmonized, immigration reform leader in the UK party, Nigel Farage.

The Prime Minister has excluded the re -joining of the EU Customs Union or its market unique currency, and so far has resisted pressure from the continent to alleviate limit after Brexit for the UK citizens and the EU who live and work on both sides of the border, at least for young people.

But he still has to go again with a trade in the UK, and which extent to which he decides to keep a block in the neighborhood at the length of his hand or try to return close trade connections before Brexit, he could directly affect his nail chance of reducing a favorable new trade agreement with Washington.

Speaking on Monday, the Starmer Government spokesman called a trade relationship in the UK with the American “honest and balanced”, calling Washington “irreplaceable alliance and one of our closest trade partners.”
