The administration justifies these measures by citing concerns \u200cover illegal drug influx and immigration from these countries, defining the situation as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/did-president-trump-spring-a-trap-on-treasonous-democrats-on-election-night\/\" title=\"Did President Trump Spring a Trap on Treasonous Democrats on Election Night?\">national emergency<\/a> under the International Emergency Economic Powers\u200c Act (IEEPA). \u200b <\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the\u2063 White House has indicated that these tariffs will remain in place until the metrics regarding opioid-related deaths stemming \u200bfrom \u200ddrug imports improve. The U.S. anticipates potential retaliatory tariffs from Canada, Mexico, and \u2062China, but administration officials assert\u2062 that any retaliation could lead to even higher tariffs on those nations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump begins sweeping tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1966543\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> signed three executive orders implementing wide-ranging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tariffs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">tariffs<\/a> on Canada, Mexico, and China on Saturday, marking the beginning of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/colombia-bows-knee-to-trump-will-take-illegals-gives-potus-every-single-thing-he-wants\/\" title=\"Colombia Bows Knee to Trump, Will Take Illegals, Gives POTUS Every Single Thing He Wants\">potential trade war<\/a> with the nation&rsquo;s top commercial partners.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Canadian and Mexican goods exported to the United States will face a 25% tariff, while Canadian energy resources will face a 10% tariff, and China will face a 10% tariff, according to White House officials.<\/p>\n<p>The tariffs are in addition to other tariffs and there are no exclusions. <\/p>\n<p>The two North American allies are critical suppliers of agricultural goods to the U.S. The tariffs could increase grocery prices for Americans, a stark contrast from Trump&rsquo;s campaign promise to bring down high costs.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ucla-student-government-passes-stipend-to-compensate-undocumented-students\/\" title=\"UCLA Student Government Passes Stipend To Compensate Undocumented Students\">president blamed<\/a> the influx of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl, and migrants entering the nation illegally across the northern and southern borders as reasons for the tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>A White House fact sheet claims this &ldquo;constitutes a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Officials said several issues will need to be addressed before the tariffs are lifted from the three nations. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The bottom line is, the best metric will be Americans stop dying from Made in China, distributed by Mexico and Canada, fentanyl,&rdquo; a White House official said. &ldquo;And we&rsquo;ll track those metrics very carefully.
