Palm Beach: President Donald Trump said that people might feel some pain by the new trade war, provoked by new tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China and claimed that Canada will not survive without its trade balance with the US.

The measures signed by Trump in Florida over the past weekend stirred up confusion, resentment and concern, and risk to destroy the long-established deal on trade in North America and deepen the tensions with China.

Trump later that Sunday issued a warning that more significant tariffs will be applied elsewhere, and he said it will ‘definitely happen’ with the EU, and likely with the UK as well.

He dismissed attempts to skip them from Canada by stating that, ‘If they want to play the game I do not mind’. We only won one game out of four, but whatever we can play the game all they want.”

Subsequently, Canadians are rather puzzled,” said Kirsten Hillman , the Canadian ambassador to the United States. “We regard ourselves as being your neighbor, your friend, your partner.”

While implementing the campaign promise, Trump has also possibly delivered the opposite of what he had vowed to the citizens through the election campaign of last year, namely the potential for a quick reduction of inflation. If the same situation turned into a domestic one then consumers and businesses might experience the same frustration as him from other nations.

"WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!)," As stated by Trump in a status post in his social media platform, “But make America great again, and it will all be worth the price that has been paid,” Marsha Blackburn said.

It has not stated how much that could be or what must change in terms of curbing of illegality and smuggling of fentanyl for these tariffs to be lifted off the legal justification of economic emergency by Trump. The tariffs are subjected to being implemented on Tuesday.

“If prices go up, it is because of the actions individuals in the country take towards the laws of America,” his homeland secretary, Kristi Noem, said on NBC’s ‘’meet the press”.

In one of its post on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump led an attack specifically to Canada which had reciprocated. He is imposing a 25% tariff targeting the Canadian goods while a 10% tax is imposed on oil, natural gas, and electricity. In reciprocation, Canada is now levying 25% taxes on over CAD 155 billion ( US $105 billion on 2200) of the US products, including the alcoholic beverages, and fruits.

He went on to say something along the lines of the following regarding the Canadian trade surplus with the United States: Above all, we have even Unlimited Energy, should start constructing our own Cars today and have more Lumber than what we require forever.

In his usual boastful manner, the current president of the United States once stated that America does not require Canada; however, of the oil that the US uses daily, a quarter of it is supplied by this ally. They also saw betterment of their economy status for the coming year, while he continued his false assertion that America subsidizes Canada.

Trump also argued that if that surplus is not produced, “Canada no longer exists as a viable country from which to steal America’s wealth.” Harsh but true! Therefore, Canada ought to be our most Coveted 51st State. Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada — AND NO TARIFFS!"

He, the ambassador, has informed that the approximate trade balance of and against Canada was $75 billion Canadian ($ 51 billion) in the year, however, one-third of what Canada exports to the U.S. comprises energy and has a deficit when oil price are expensive. The largest supplier of crude oil to U.S. is Canada and it supply about 60% of the entire imported crude oil.

from it; Trudeau has been urging Canadians to ‘invest in Canada’ and called Trump’s policies ‘painful’ for the continent. The first phase will entail focusing on alcohol, cosmetics and paper products, whereas the second stage will cover all the aforementioned products including passenger vehicles, trucks, steel, aluminum products, fruits, vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products, etc.

Currently, Canada is the leading export destination for 36 states while Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US.

I think ‘just’ appears to mean they’re surprised and probably there is a little bit of offended Canadians do not know where this is coming from… Hillman said on PBS television program, ABC’s ‘This Week’ on Sunday.

Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, stated new tariffs and recommended more actions to the U.S. should focus on inside its own borders on drug addiction. She and Trudeau talked over the phone after the statement and “committed to improving the existing close Canada-Mexico cooperation” as the PM’s press service reported.

As described by the Chinese government, they would protect their interests in the Chinese market and plan to register a complaint to WTO.

For Trump, the unknown remains whether inflation could turn out to be the stick by the handle of which he would be forced to let go. During his campaigning as a presidential candidate, Trump criticized Democrats for inflation due to the problems with the supply chains during the Covid outbreak, the increasing spending by the Biden administration to boost the economy and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

Donald Trump pointed that his presidency for the last four years had low inflation rates and if he were to return back to the presidency, then the people should prepare to be faced with similar rates as well. He did say however categorically when it comes to inflation menaces why higher inflation will unstack the US as a nation this seems to be quite contrary to what he is doing with tariffs now.

On this position, he can be quoted as saying during a political rally in Philadelphia: ‘Inflation is a disaster”. "It's a country-buster. It's a total country-buster."

He did not elaborate on when he will apply the tariff on other products but promised to do it soon for EU without stating the level of tariff to be applied.

Responding to the question on when this will happen Trump stated that it will eventually occur with the European Union especially because they have taken advantage of Americans.

Mnuchin said, to his question if he might need more tariffs with the United Kingdom, replied affirmatively. Larry summers, who was treasury secretary during the Clinton presidency remarked that the tariffs would further improve the America economy.

“It may grow up to 1% in the next nine months just at the time when we are seeking to contain inflation,” he said on CNN ‘Inside Politics’.

He stated that aggression on a playground or in the international area is not a sustainable winning formula. And that's what this is." Finally, who will be the winner was the question most powerfully answered by Summers in the same vein when he stated that ‘Xi Jinping of China is the ultimate beneficiary,’ and ‘we have regrettably proceeded to send some of our core partners into his arms, as well as making everything he is doing palatable by violating all the norms that we created.’

Such analyses indicate that as much as Trump thought to be helping his voters through tariffs, it will instead negatively impact them and therefore he may need to find a way out.

The Tariff Launched A study done by the Budget Lab at Yale Located, if the tariffs persisted, the average American household would suffer an income loss of about $1,245 in the year and would mean an overall increase in tax by more than 1.4 trillion over the next ten years.

Goldman Sachs also pointed out in a note to the analysts on Sunday that the tariffs take effect Tuesday and indicated that they are to go on ‘though a final deal can still be salvaged at the eleventh hour is not entirely possible.

The investment bank also opined that an economic damage and possible conditions for the removal of the tariffs are possible but the investment bank declared that “We believe they’re likely to be short-lived but the prospects remain uncertain.”
