Trump zegt dat Amerikanen “enige pijn” kunnen voelen van invoerrechten

February 3, 2025 - U.S. President Donald Trump said that Americans could feel “some pain” from the emerging trade war triggered by his tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China.

Trump said he would talk on Monday with the leaders of Canada and Mexico, which have announced retaliatory tariffs of their own, but downplayed expectations that they would change his mind.

He also said tariffs on the European Union would go ahead, but did not say when. European leaders meet in Brussels on Monday and are expected to discuss tariffs in the wake of Trump's comments.

The tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, outlined in three executive orders, are due to take effect 12:01 a.m. ET (0501 GMT) on Tuesday.

Economists said the Republican president's plan to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and 10% tariffs on China – the United States' three largest trading partners – will slow global growth and drive prices higher for Americans.

Trump says they are needed to curb immigration and narcotics trafficking and spur domestic industries, according to Reuters.
