President Donald Trump is considering imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico, following his successful use of tariffs to pressure Colombia into accepting deportees. Economists are warning of potential economic damage if these tariffs are implemented, with concerns about inflation and an economic slowdown.

While Trump believes tariffs will make the U.S. more prosperous and secure, experts caution that the impact could be severe. Nearly 30% of U.S. imports come from Canada and Mexico, raising fears that tariffs could lead to higher prices and undermine Trump's efforts to control inflation.
