Trump's approach to tariffs is grounded in an unconventional trade theory that suggests such measures will lead companies to relocate production to the U.S. and generate American jobs. However, economists warn that the repercussions could be more complex and damaging. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney voiced concerns over the U.S.'s reliability as a trade partner, announcing that retaliatory tariffs from Canada would be forthcoming. Meanwhile, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck has urged a strong response from the E.U., emphasizing the importance of solidarity against U.S. trade policy.
