CONTEXT NEWS

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Nov. 25 that he would impose large tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, three of the country’s top trade partners.

Following a call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Trump suggested that his proposed 25% tariff on imports could be rescinded in exchange for cooperation on migration issues. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Trump’s club in Florida on Nov. 30 to discuss trade and migration.
