Tariffs are a tax on imported and exported goods directly affecting our trade. Tariffs can protect a country’s domestic companies, increase profits, and get the upper hand politically on other countries. Tariffs also make the price of imported goods more expensive, deterring customers from purchasing those goods. In President Trump’s executive order “Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Imposes Tariffs on Imports from Canada, Mexico, and China”, he claims that he will be putting an extra 25% tariff on all products from Canada and Mexico and an extra 10% tariff on Chinese products. According to Trump, this order is meant to “hold Mexico, Canada, and China accountable to their promises of halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country.”

Let’s dive into how he has fulfilled this executive order into his presidency thus far.

With the current political choices surrounding us, many may question what is really changing in our world. DEI is one of the floating policies that is causing a lot of controversy. DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Diversity and inclusion are already well known. Diversity means a variety of people and inclusion means that we are to involve all, especially those marginalized. Equity is lesser known, but is very pertinent to today’s issues. While often confused with equality, which means treating everyone the same, equity goes the extra mile by treating everyone the same, but also providing the necessary help to anyone who may need it to achieve said equality.

The United States initially signed into the Paris Agreement upon its formation in 2016. In 2020, following the dictation of President Trump, it withdrew. Upon the election of President Biden, the U.S. signed back into the treaty again in 2021. However, due to recent political changes, powered by the inauguration of President Trump, serving his second term as the country’s president, the U.S. has once again withdrawn from the Paris Agreement, as of 2025. Trump’s decision to retract the U.S. from the agreement has sparked criticism from environmentalists, scientists, religious organizations, neighboring countries, and the American people. The U.S. is the second largest emitter of carbon dioxide emissions. This means that Trump’s decision to separate the country from the treaty contradicts any form of positive concepts by initiating change.
