**US President Trump Imposes Tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico**
On February 1st, US President Donald Trump signed executive orders that imposed steep tariffs on goods from China, Canada, and Mexico. This move could lead to a trade war between the US and its largest economic partners.
**Tariffs Rates Announced**

* 10% tariff on energy imports from Canada
* 10% tariff on Chinese goods
