US President Donald Trump has announced new tariff threats against the European Union, Mexico, and Canada. The EU is targeted over a record €890 million fine imposed on Google for competition violations, which Trump called 'illegal and highly discriminatory.' He announced a tariff investigation under Section 301 of the US Trade Act. Mexico faces tariffs due to a diarrhea outbreak in the US linked to parasites in salad imported from Mexico. Canada is threatened with tariffs because of smoke from Canadian wildfires drifting into the US, and also due to alleged discriminatory treatment of US alcohol, automotive, and dairy products. Trump previously imposed 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods. In response, Canada inaugurated a $4.7 billion border bridge between Windsor and Detroit without US participation.
