President Donald Trump has defended his newly imposed tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, citing trade imbalances and national security concerns. Speaking at Joint Base Andrews, Trump accused Canada of being “very abusive” towards the U.S., criticized China’s control of the Panama Canal, and hinted at upcoming tariffs on the European Union. The decision has sparked international backlash, with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urging citizens to “buy Canada” and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejecting U.S. claims of cartel cooperation. Trump also suggested reevaluating aid to South Africa over controversial policies.
