Under President Donald Trump new major tariffs were enforced for all imports originating from Mexico as well as Canada and China. The executive orders place 25% duties on most Mexican and Canadian products and 10% duties on Chinese goods while setting Canadian energy products to face a minimized 10% duty. These countries have responded immediately after the recent tariff implementation. 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada announced opposition tariffs against U.S. goods worth C$155 billion corresponding to US$107 billion. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has formed a plan with punitive measures that could reach from 5% to 20% against specified U.S. imports. China has taken steps to challenge U.S. tariffs before the World Trade Organization as the country also prepares unspecified reactions. 

Research has emerged regarding trade disturbances and ongoing trade warfare between nations because of recent developments. Professionals in economics state that governments resorting to these measures might produce price increases for market consumers alongside damage to international bilateral relationships. Various nations follow the developing situation with great attention.
