As President Donald Trump unleashes sweeping changes across the US government and slaps tariffs on America’s leading trade partners, Chinese leader Xi Jinping is preparing to hold a major political gathering designed to project something else: confidence in his country’s ability to weather external headwinds.

Beijing imposed broad tariffs on imports of American food and said that 15 U.S. companies could no longer buy from China without special permission.

The tariffs on Mexican and Canadian products could have much deeper repercussions for a highly integrated North American economy

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s long-threatened tariffs against Canada and Mexico finally went into effect Tuesday, putting global markets on edge and setting up costly retaliations by the United States’ North American allies.

President Donald Trump's tariff actions, which could upend nearly $2.2 trillion in two-way annual U.S. trade, went live at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Trump will decide Tuesday afternoon whether to proceed with, reduce or postpone tariff plans that have been on hold.

Trump's Commerce secretary said in a CNN interview that Canada and Mexico still need to do more to stop fentanyl flows into the U.S.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum has said that her administration is waiting to see if U.S. President Donald Trump makes good on his threat to impose 25% tariffs on Mexican imports
