United States President Donald Trump announced broad tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, claiming a “major threat” from illegal immigration and drugs—a move that sparked promises of retaliation.
While the move is seen as a strategy to address concerns related to drug cartels, migration, and trade imbalances, Young emphasized that it is unlikely to have a significant immediate impact on Philippine exports to the US. “Just to produce one basic undergarment in the US would be nearly eight times more expensive than in countries like China or the Philippines. Can you imagine the cost of a T-shirt in the US being $12, while it would cost as little as $2 to produce the same product in Vietnam or Bangladesh?” Young explained.
The aim is to hold all three countries “accountable to their promises of halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country,” the White House added. “We’re certainly not looking to escalate. But we will stand up for Canada, for Canadians, for Canadian jobs,” he said, as he warned of a fracture in longstanding Canada-US ties.
