Canada and Mexico have hit back after the tariffs were introduced<\/h2>\n

Here’s the impact Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico will have on groceries and gas prices.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Trump<\/a>\u00a0has certainly wasted no time in getting his polices across, as he broke records for the\u00a0number of executive orders signed on his first day as president<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 47th US president has made\u00a0changes to passports<\/a>\u00a0and immigration just to name a few, while his decision to\u00a0rename the Gulf of Mexico<\/a>\u00a0to the Gulf of America has certainly proved controversial.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has also imposed higher tariff imports on countries like\u00a0China<\/a>,\u00a0Canada<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Mexico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is Trump’s new executive order?<\/h2>\n

Trump’s executive order means import tariffs are taxed at 25 percent for Mexico and Canada, while there’s ten percent tariffs on goods from China. A 10 percent tariff will also apply to energy imported from Canada.<\/p>\n

President Trump had been\u00a0threatening the tariffs to ensure greater cooperation from the countries<\/a>\u00a0on stopping illegal immigration and the smuggling of chemicals used for fentanyl, but he has also pledged to use tariffs to boost domestic manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Speaking to press on Friday (January 31), White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters: “Starting tomorrow, those tariffs will be in place. These are promises made and promises kept by the president.”<\/p>\n

How Trump’s tariffs will affect your groceries and gas prices<\/h2>\n

The tariffs are set to have an impact on every American household, with families set to notice a hike in their weekly\u00a0food<\/a>\u00a0shop.<\/p>\n

Editor of The Supermarket Guru Phil Lempert\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0ABC: “About 63% of all our vegetables come from Mexico. When we look at fruit and nuts, about 50% come from there. If we take a look at our meat, that comes from Canada.<\/p>\n

“This is not something that’s going to have a good effect for consumers any time soon.”<\/p>\n

The likes of avocados, berries, cooking oil, meat, meat products, beer and even tequila are set to see increases, according to the expert.<\/p>\n

On top of that, you’ve got gas price hikes, with Lempert adding: “Gas prices are going to go up. That’s what we get from Canada.<\/p>\n

“Also, if you take a look, a lot of our US cars are assembled and parts come from Mexico. So, we’re going to see the price of cars go up.”<\/p>\n

Canada and Mexico’s response to the tariffs<\/h2>\n

Both the Canadian and Mexican president announced counter-tariffs on Saturday evening as a direct response to Trump’s executive order.<\/p>\n

Canada is imposing 25 percent tariffs on CA $155 billion of US goods, while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum ordered her economic minister to implement measures to protect Mexico’s best interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
