Trump's tariffs, explained

It’s been two weeks since U.S. President Donald Trump became president, and there have - of course - been many headline-making moves from the 47th president already. 

One that our audience has been asking us to explain is his policy on tariffs.

Over the weekend, Trump signed an executive order to impose new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China. Trump claimed the tariffs, which will come into effect this week, will “stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs from pouring across our borders”.

So, what does this all mean? We are here to answer your questions.
