Trump raises tariffs from Mexico for the time being - the trade conflict remains!

Washington, USA - A trade conflict between the USA and its neighbors Mexico and Canada has worsened. As oe24 reported, US President Donald Trump excluded the introduction of tariffs from Mexico until April 2, 2025 after he had made calls with the Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. According to Trump, this concession was made from "respect and accommodation". In the past, Trump had justified the tariffs with inadequate measures against drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Over 25 percent inches on imports from Mexico were originally planned and came into force shortly after midnight, such as t-online reported.

At the same time, Canada immediately put into force on US goods in the amount of 25 percent. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emphasized that they will initially apply to goods worth $ 30 billion before increasing to a total of $ 155 billion. These developments could have far -reaching effects on the North American economy, especially on the automotive industry, such as signaling the reports. Trump himself has announced that the tariffs on goods from China further increase, which reinforces the fears before a new trade war.

Trump that Trump has followed since taking office is used as a negotiation tactic to put pressure on the neighboring countries. A previously threatened trade war has been mitigated again and again, but it remains unclear whether the current compromises are sufficient to avoid an open conflict. The import tariffs on products that fall under the North American free trade agreement USMCA seem to be banned for the time being, but the uncertainty about the future trade relationship remains.
