President Donald Trump’s plan to apply 25 percent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican exports is set to start Tuesday. He hopes to pressure the countries to stop the flow of drugs and migrants into the U.S.
Mexico and Canada have vowed to retaliate by slapping their own tariffs on U.S. goods, setting the stage for a potential North American trade war.
“Canada and the United States have had free trade for 35 years now and this will be the single most turbulent element of our trading relationship since 1989, so it's very worrying,” said Beth Richardson, the Consul General of Canada to the U.S. in Minneapolis.
Richardson told Minnesota Now host Nina Moini that she’s had business and agricultural associations calling her with concerns. She laid out three everyday impacts Minnesotans could see.
