Trump signed an executive order to implement tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China.He has been threatening the tariffs on the three countries and others for months.Here's where his trade proposals stand, and how they could affect consumers.President Donald Trump's long-anticipated tariffs on goods from China, Canada, and Mexicowere made official on Saturday, according to the White House.The Trump administration said it had imposed a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on China.Economists expect many firms to pass increased costs caused by tariffs onto customers, and several companies have already said they are preparing to raise prices in response. Electronics, groceries, and apparel are among the most likely products to see price increases.The White House said the tariffs will work to deliver Trump's campaign promises. Regarding his proposed first round of tariffs, an official told Business Insider that "Trump has been clear about his desire to end the fentanyl crisis, and it's time for Mexico and Canada to join the fight as well." Trump has said a tariff on China would also help fight the fentanyl problem.Here are all the countries Trump has targeted with his trade proposals so far.ChinaChina was a key focus for tariffs on the campaign trail. While campaigning, Trump proposed a 60% tariff on all goods imported from China, alongside a 10% to 20% tariff on imports from other countries.Once Trump took office, though, his ideas for tariffs on China appeared to narrow. On January 21, he suggested a 10% tariff on imports from China into the United States beginning on February 1 "based on the fact that they're sending fentanyl to Mexico and Canada." The Trump administration cited the fentanyl crisis on Saturday as the impetus for the new tariffs.China is a major electronics supplier to the United States, so cellphones, computers, and games could get more expensive.Mao Ning, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, told reporters on February 22: "We believe that there's no winner in a trade or tariff war, and we will firmly uphold our national interests."Canada and MexicoThe new tariffs make good on an earlier threatTrump posted in November on his social media platform,Truth Social.He indicateda the time that he would impose tariffs on those two countries on his first day in office if they didn't strengthen their border policies.The US imports many key goods from both Mexico and Canada. Americans receive $92 billion in crude oil from Canada, as well as billions of dollars worth of vehicles and vehicle parts. In addition to car parts, Mexico also supplies $25 billion worth of computers to the United States.On Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the nation would respond to the tariffs."I met with our Canada-U.S. Council today. We're working hard to prevent these tariffs, but if the United States moves ahead, Canada's ready with a forceful and immediate response," Trudeau said in a post on X.RussiaTrump said on January 22 that he would place tariffs on imports from Russia if the country did not end the Ukraine war soon."If we don't make a 'deal,' and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries," Trump wrote on Truth Social.According to Census data, the US imported $4.57 billion worth of goods from Russia in 2023, which made up just 0.14% of total imports that year. Given how little the country exports to the United States, consumers would probably see few effects if a tariff on Russia was implemented.ColombiaAfter Colombia's president turned away two flights from the US that carried deported migrants, Trump threatened the country with a 25% tariff. He said that in one week, the Colombia tariff would be raised to 50%."We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States!" Trump said on Truth Social.Colombia's president Gustavo Petro responded in a statement that his country would receive Colombians "on civilian planes, without treating them like criminals." The White House then withdrew its threat but warned it could be reinstated if Colombia failed to honor its agreement.Key goods the US imports from Colombia include coffee and bananas, which would likely get more expensive under tariffs.BRICS nationsOn November 30, Trump posted on Truth Social that he would impose a 100% tariff on the BRICS group unless they committed to not creating a separate currency that competes with the US dollar.BRICS consists of nine countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates.Pharmaceutical preparations, crude oil, and household goods are the top imports from countries in the BRICS group, excluding China. The Trump administration did not announce any tariffs on the BRICS nations on Saturday.DenmarkTrump said during a press conference on January 7 that he would "tariff Denmark at a very high level" if the country didn't agree to cede control of Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, to the United States.The president has not offered further details on that claim,reportedthat Trump and Denmark's premier, Mette Frederiksen, had a call to discuss the threat, during which Frederiksen reportedly emphasized that Greenland was not for sale.The US primarily imports medicinal products and machinery from Denmark.

By Matt Novak Published February 1, 2025 | Comments (3) | USAID providing disaster relief in the Philippines in the aftermath of Typhoon Krathon (Julian) in Northern Luzon. Photo: DVIDS / U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Amelia Kang The website for USAID, the U.S. government agency that distributes foreign aid, went down on Saturday, and its unclear when it may return. The outage comes as every federal website has been ordered to erase forbidden words, though USAIDs outage could related to reports that Donald Trump plans to put most of the agency under control of the U.S. State Department, according to Reuters. Posts on X suggest the USAID website may have redirected to the White House website for a time before going dark completely, but Gizmodo couldnt independently confirm that. USAIDs press office didnt immediately respond to questions emailed on Saturday. Previously, the U.S. Census Bureaus website, census.gov, went offline around 5 p.m. ET on Friday. That disruption happened shortly after CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs tweeted that some government websites were slated to go dark Friday evening at precisely 5 p.m., citing White House officials. Jacobs reported later the outage at government websites was related to an attempt to remove diversity-related content, and the Census website was restored about an hour later. Gizmodo reported Friday on the plans at the CDC to scrub that agencys website of all gender ideology, as the Trump administration has called it, a euphemism for anything Trump opposes relating to LGBT rights and the role of women in society. Elizabeth Murray, a pediatrician who specializes in treating children who are the victims of sexual abuse, reported on TikTok that an app from the CDC that tells doctors how to treat kids whove been raped has been taken offline. This is the CDC sexually transmitted infection treatment guidelines app, the pediatrician said. We use this to figure out the right dose to treat a young child whos acquired a sexually transmitted infection after being abused. Little kids need different dosing than adults, and this gets updated pretty frequently depending on drug resistance and other things. So apparently helping little kids whove been sexually assaulted is just too woke now. But thats where we are. @docemurray #cdcguidelines The STI app is down, makes it harder to help treat kids who have been abused. #greenscreen original sound Dr. Elizabeth Murray Trumps ideological purge of the government has been swift, as the fascist president has issued a flurry of executive orders and illegally attempted to shut down government spending on programs he opposes. A federal judge ruled on Friday that Trump must cease trying to stop the flow of money that had been properly allocated by Congress.The CDCs website has been stripped of vital information, including data on HIV intended for doctors to be able to speak with patients about treatment, according to Time magazine. A page called HIV Nexus: CDC Resources for Clinicians was just one of many pages on the CDC website that are no longer available, a result of the agency being directed to scrub words and entire reports that mention LGBT issues. Just about every agency seems to have been impacted by the draconian censorship and pervading culture of fear now present in the federal government apparatus. HuffPost congressional reporter Jen Bendery wrote on Bluesky that a source at the Environmental Protection Agency was concerned about the way that communications were now being monitored at the EPA after a recent Microsoft software update. Its likely your status on Teams is being monitored, and a hint was dropped to us by someone higher up in EPA that they may be monitoring Teams calls. We now have to be careful of what we say on Teams calls, the EPA staffer was quoted as saying.The U.S. Department of Justice deleted a charges database for January 6th defendants, according to the political transparency group CREW. And given the scope of the purge, it seems likely it could take a long time before the U.S. public has any idea how much knowledge has been scrubbed from the web by their own government.Daily NewsletterYou May Also Like By Thomas Maxwell Published January 31, 2025 By Matt Novak Published January 31, 2025 By Matthew Gault Published January 31, 2025 By Matt Novak Published January 31, 2025 By Lucas Ropek Published January 31, 2025 By AJ Dellinger Published January 30, 2025

The New York Times Strands puzzle for today is a difficult word game that challenges players to uncover a hidden theme. Each puzzle presents a grid of letters, and your task is to identify the words that fit the theme while navigating the twists and turns of the letter arrangement.

Pokemon Trading Card Game's first-ever expansion set is titled Mythical Island, which added a series of cards that can be collected by opening booster packs with adorable Mew-themed artwork on them. With the addition of Mythical Island, plenty of the newly-added cards became viable for use in deck-building, either as standalone Ace Pokemon or in synergy with cards from the same set or the previous set, Genetic Apex. As battling is an important part of the game that can be used to go up against other players or even earn rewards during limited-time events, building a series of strong decks gives players good versatility moving forward.
