President Donald Trump on Sunday defended his decision to impose broad tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, acknowledging they may cause “some pain” but claiming it “will all be worth the price,” as the import taxes have been widely condemned by business groups and economists who warn they’ll raise prices for American consumers.

President Donald Trump's new tariff orders against Canada, Mexico and China all contain clauses suspending a duty-free exemption for low-value shipments below $800 that is widely seen as a loophole that has allowed shipments of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals into the United States.
