Democrats are warning that the north -Americans will face higher costs and end up paying the price of the President of the new rates Donald Trump He is imposing against Mexico, Canada and China.
The White House announced on Friday that in response to a “illegal Fentanil invasion” in the United States, it would impose a 25% rate on all goods entering the United States from Mexico and Canada, a 10% rate to Canadian energy and 10% rate about all goods entering the United States from China.
The rates against China came into force on Tuesday, although Trump agreed to retreat the rates against Mexico and Canada at least one month after discussions with each respective country on the guarantee of the border.
Although Trump acknowledged on Friday, the rates could lead to “short-term temporary interruptions”, Democrats claim that American taxpayers will end up hurting and pay the price.
According to a Washington think tank, non -partisan Peterson Institute of International EconomicsThese rates are expected to cost US households approximately $ 1,200 a year.
As a result, the leader of the Minorities of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., took a punch to Trump and made fun of the expression created of the President on a “golden age” of economic prosperity.
“President Trump began a golden cost of higher costs for North -American families with their 25% rates in Canada and Mexico,” Schumer said on Monday at the Senate plant. “Two of our four older commercial partners emitting their rates. Donald Trump reappears the game for his billionaire friends, while doing nothing to reduce the costs for North -American families.”
“Trump’s rates will cause gas prices to increase and we should not hear at all at Donald Trump when he says it is to stop the Fentanil,” said Schumer. “This is nonsense. There are other ways to stop the Fentanil without worse and increase the costs in the North -American family.”
Additionally, sens. Chris Coons, D-Del., And Tim Kaine, D-VA. Specifically, the law would require the President to inform Congress on fares and impacts on the United States’ economics and the interests of foreign policy.
The measure, known as the Allied stop rates and strengthening the legislative exercise of the Commercial Policy Law (stable), would also require the approval of the congress before executing new rates on United States allies or other members of ‘Free trade agreement.
COONS warned that the North -American people would pay the price for the rates, which labeled the “largest tax increase” in the North -Americans for a long time. Coons also warned that imposing tariffs on Mexico and Canada would make them “nervous neighbors” and could jeopardize relationships with the Allies.
“China, Mexico and Canada are our three largest commercial partners,” Coons said in a statement on Friday. “It is the largest tax increase of North workers -Americans for a long time and will cost them thousands of dollars each year. President Trump again makes America again expensive.”
Experts have warned that food costs such as avocados, dairy and certain meats could increase in the wake of rates. For example, Kelly Beaton, the Food Institute’s content manager, said that the United States receives a large part of the Canada’s pork and beef imports. These “definitely” rates will lead to higher import costs and, ultimately, higher beef and pork prices for north -American consumers, he said, Fox Business Reports.
Also, Democratic representatives Suzan Delbene, D-Wash. And Don Beyer, D-Va., Also introduced legislation in January that would prevent Trump using emergency powers to implement tariffs, in the midst of the concern that American consumers would finish the bill.
“Not only would widespread rates increase home costs and probably send our economy to recession, but they would probably lead to significant retaliation, badly for North -American workers, farmers and companies,” Delbene said in a statement on 15th. January.
In response to the north -Americans who absorb the costs of the rates, Trump said in a post Sunday about social truth: “Will there be some pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!) But we will do America again, again, And everything will be worth the price to be paid. “
While Senator Mitch McConnell, R-KY., Told “60 minutes” of NBC News, predicted that the rates would promote the costs of consumption, other Republicans such as Senator Lindsey Graham, Rs.C. He told Fox News on Sunday that rates are designed to “get these countries change their behavior.”
The rates were being imposed due to an “unprecedented invasion of the illegal Fentanil that kills North -Americans”, said Karoline Leavitt, a White House Press Secretary.
Mexico Aggressed to deploy 10,000 soldiers at the United States border in exchange for a fare pause
Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum spoke on Monday, giving rise to the postponement of the rates against Mexico for a month. In addition, Sheinbaum promised to send 10,000 soldiers to the North -American -Mexic border.

“About 10,000 front -line staff is and will work to protect the border,” Trudeau said in a publication on social media on X on Monday.
While Trudeau initially presented plans for 25% of Canada’s rates up to $ 155 million in North -American imports in articles such as fruit and alcohol. But Trudeau said on Sunday the rates were paused for at least 30 more days in the middle of the negotiations with the United States
Trudeau also said that “we will list the cartels as terrorists, we will secure our eyes 24 hours on the border, launch a joint strike force in Canada to combat organized crime, fentanil and money laundering.”
