Trump's tariff wars are officially on.
Donald Trump’s first two targets are Mexico and Canada, imposing 25% tariffs on their products – and 20% on Chinese imports.
These three countries accounted for more than 40% of imports into the US last year.
He’s also introduced a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminium products worldwide.
On his social media site, Truth Social, Trump said if the EU doesn’t remove a proposed 50% tariff on US bourbon, the US will place a 200% tariff on all wines, champagnes, and alcoholic products coming out of the EU.
Foreign Minister Winston Peters is currently in the US – he’s said he’s approaching the Trump administration “with eyes wide open” and that he’s “prepared to listen, hear them out, hear their side of the story”.
But, will that be enough to shift New Zealand out of Trump’s firing line?
CBC News senior parliamentary reporter, J.P. Tasker is with us from Ottawa, where citizens are actively boycotting US made products in response.
Then, later on The Front Page we’ll speak to Buy New Zealand Made executive director, Dane Ambler about whether we’ve seen any impact here yet.
