President Trump pausing some tariffs on Mexico until April 2nd when reciprocal tariffs kick in for everyone. All Mexican goods under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement signed under the first Trump administration to replace NAFTA granted reprieve. President Trump posting to Truth Social, quote, I did this as an accommodation and out of respect for President Scheinbaum. Our relationship has been a very good one, and we are working hard together on the border, both in terms of stopping illegal aliens from entering the United States and likewise stopping fentanyl. The market's continuing to slide in reaction to the back and forth actions.
President Trump reacting to the market drop from the Oval.
Well, a lot of them are globalist countries and companies that won't be doing as well because we're taking back things that have been taken from us many years ago. We've been treated very unfairly as a country. We protect everybody. We do everything for all these countries. And a lot of these are globalist in nature. You know, they have If you're outside of the United States, it's going to be a little bit different. We just weren't treated right. We were ripped off as a country. I've been saying it for a long time.
How are Trump's tariffs affecting the economy and global relations?
Democrats highly critical of the tariffs, arguing the economic uncertainty is harming their constituents.
His tariffs on allies like Canada will raise prices on energy, lumber and cars. Average American families can expect that these Trump tariffs are going to cost them about $2,000 annually. So considering the president ran on a platform about bringing down costs, he seems to be doing exactly the opposite.
What is the political reaction to Trump's tariff decisions?
Trump started this. This is not only going to put pain and suffering for Canadian families. It's also going to be for Minnesota families and families all across the United States.
Public support for tariffs falling along party lines. An Economist YouGov poll showing 68% of Republicans support a 25% tariff on Mexico versus only 11% of Democrats. On CNBC, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick pressed about the seemingly chaotic thinking of the White House. First, the tariffs were announced, then paused, then implemented, now paused again in some capacity.
Are you unsure of what President Trump wants? I speak to him all the time. You've got to be kidding me. The president knows exactly what he wants. We know exactly what he wants. And our job is to try to execute exactly what he wants.
