Mexico says tariffs make ‘no sense’ as Canada seeks negotiations to remove the levies ongoing.

Mexico says tariffs make ‘no sense’ as Canada seeks negotiations to remove the levies ongoing.

The president first announced the doubling of tariffs on aluminum and steel at a rally in Pennsylvania last week.

Trump administration tariffs on all imported aluminum and steel are now in effect as the United States launched a 50% duty directly on those materials Wednesday.

Trump and his aides have repeatedly shifted their stance on tariffs in the weeks since the president’s “Liberation Day” announcement.

Canada’s Mark Carney calls the 50-percent tariff increase ‘illegal’, while Mexico’s Sheinbaum weighs countermeasures.
