US President Donald Trump has announced new tariffs on all goods imported from America's three largest trading partners, China, Mexico and Canada.

Trump said the US would impose tariffs beginning on Tuesday of 25% on Canada and Mexico as well as an additional 10% tax on China. Canadian energy faces a lower 10% tariff.

He had threatened to impose the import taxes if the three countries did not address his concerns about illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

Both Canada and Mexico said they were preparing retaliatory tariffs of their own.

There are fears of a major global trade war after President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China starting immediately. He added that 'very substantial tariffs' would follow for the European Union.  

Goods exported from Canada and Mexico to the US will be hit with a 25% tariff;  products from China face a 10% levy.  Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country would face difficult times as a result but promised a 'forceful' retaliation.

Many Chinese businesses were certain the tariffs were on their way and have been taking pre-emptive action.  Many have moved their production lines offshore, to places including Cambodia.

The German parliament has rejected immigration measures put forward by the conservative opposition and backed by the far-right.

Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader Friedrich Merz had tried to rely on support from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party for the second time in a week - but the bill was defeated by 350 votes to 338.

The strategy was widely condemned, including by former chancellor Angela Merkel, who accused Merz of turning his back on a previous pledge not to work with AfD in the Bundestag.

Merz defended his actions as "necessary" and said he had not sought the party's support.

US President Donald Trump has said he will follow through with his threat to hit imports from Canada and Mexico with 25% border taxes, known as tariffs, on 1 February.

But he added that a decision about whether this would include oil from those countries had not yet been made.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said the move was aimed to address the large amounts of undocumented migrants and the fentanyl that come across US borders as well as trade deficits with its neighbours.

The president also suggested that he was still planning to impose new tariffs on China, which he said earlier this month would be 10%, but did not give any details.
