Trump has justified tariffs on goods from Canada, the top U.S. export market, by accusing it of failing to stop the cross-border flow of fentanyl, even though U.S. government data shows Canada accounts for only 1% of the fentanyl that enters the United States.

President Donald Trump has said that tariffs won’t lead to higher prices. But the United States economy seems to disagree: Inflation, which has remained fairly tame, is slowly creeping up because of tariffs.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday, slapping tariffs on most of America's trading partners set to take effect next week.
