The USA and Canada are set to face off in a hockey tournament amid rising political tensions. President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on the European Union, accusing them of taking advantage of the United States. Trump has also delayed tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, already imposing a 10% tariff on Chinese imports. Economists warn that these tariffs could lead to inflation and have negative effects on the American economy. Republican Senator Mitch McConnell has criticized Trump’s tariff policy, citing the negative impact it could have on various American industries. Despite potential retaliatory tariffs from other countries, Trump remains confident in his decision. The current situation reflects a larger trend of increasing protectionist policies and trade tensions between nations.
