President Donald Trump has issued an executive order enforcing steep tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. In a Truth Social post, Mr. Trump acknowledged that the tariffs may cause some short-term discomfort but maintained that the long-term benefits would justify the cost. He described the move as part of a broader vision to bring about a prosperous “Golden Age of America.” Critics have raised concerns that the tariffs could disrupt supply chains, hurt key trading relationships, and lead to higher consumer prices.
