Sweeping #tariffs on imports from #Canada, #Mexico & #China went into effect just after midnight Tues, raising #US tariffs to levels not seen in decades & rattling foreign govts & businesses that depend on international #trade.

As of 12:01AM Tues, the #Trump admin added a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada & Mexico. The admin also added another 10% tariff on all imports from China. That comes on top of a 10% tariff on Chinese goods put into effect just one month ago….

…by altering the terms of #trade between the #UnitedStates & its largest economic partners, the #tariffs will probably rattle #SupplyChains, strain some of the country’s most important diplomatic relationships & add significant #costs for American #consumers & manufacturers.

#Canada, #Mexico & #China are the 3 largest trading partners of the US, accounting for >40% of both US imports & exports last year.
