Both the President of Mexico (Sheinbaum) and Justin Trudeau (Canada's PM) have received the news of the 25% tariffs imposed by Trump on goods and immediately proceeded to put an equivalent amount of penalties to US products.

The POTUS is effectively fulfilling the electoral programme - so anyone who voted for Trump but expected containment... well, you know... not gonna happen - but otherwise no surprise.

However both Canada and Mexico are pointing out that there is no winner on this. The effects are going to be immediately felt in Canada and Mexico, but certainly in many of the US States (who BTW voted Trump).

And then just a few hours later, Trump backs up and suspends the tariffs for one month. It seems to me that a few CEO's must have explained a few things to Trump, like the basics of economics and such.
