U.S. President Donald Trump inflamed trade tensions when he signed executive orders imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on imports from China.
Trump invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to justify the measure, claiming that the countries were not doing enough to stop the "extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl," according to the White House's statement.
