Your daily horoscope: May 9, 2025

ARIES (March 21 - April 20): Someone you meet on your travels will catch your eye and maybe your heart as well.

Trump Reaffirms 25% Tariffs, Initiates Comprehensive Trade Policy Review

 

In a bold move, President Donald Trump has reiterated his commitment to imposing a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, citing concerns over drug trafficking and border security. This announcement comes as part of a broader executive order aimed at reviewing and potentially overhauling U.S. trade policies.

The executive order, signed on Monday, directs federal agencies to assess the impact of current trade agreements on American workers and agricultural producers. It also calls for public consultations in preparation for the scheduled 2026 review of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). The order sets an April 1 deadline for these assessments and other trade policy reviews.

Trump's renewed focus on tariffs and trade policy has sparked a range of reactions. While some experts argue that these measures could protect American jobs and industries, others warn of potential negative impacts on consumer prices and international relations. The Canadian government has already expressed its concerns, emphasizing that such tariffs could harm both economies.

As the April 1 deadline approaches, the U.S. trade representative will be tasked with making recommendations regarding the country's participation in CUSMA and addressing any identified trade imbalances. This comprehensive review marks a significant step in Trump's "America First" trade strategy, which aims to prioritize national security and economic interests.
