Trump’s tariffs on Mexico and Canada delayed but China is facing a 10% hike from Tuesday

CHATTANOOGA, TENN. And US leaders and businesses support the potential effects of President Donald Trump’s new tariffs.

These tariffs were set to take effect Tuesday on goods from Mexico, Canada and China.

But a new agreement with the president of Mexico means their tariffs paused for another month.

That was after Mexican President Gloria Sheinbaum agreed to send 10,000 soldiers to the US border.

Within the last half hour, Canada’s tariffs were also announced to break for 30 days.

China is still facing an additional duty of ten percent.

Experts say new tariffs raise the cost of everyday goods such as food, cars and electronics.

The consulate reports that Tennessee imports more than $ 6.5 billion imports from Canada alone each year, with pharmaceutical products and aluminum topped the list.

We talked to the American congressman Chuck Fleischmann about what these tariffs will mean to consumers.

Fleischmann says he supports the president’s decision.

“What we have to do is give him his place to try this and then see how this works. I think one of the good things about President Trump is like a sharp businessman he wants to see and see , What the effects are on these other countries, and on the Treasury and on the economy, and he responds accordingly.

While the White House says the move is intended to tackle illegal immigration and drug trafficking, some legislators say the financial consequences could offset the benefits.
