Summary

Trump signed an executive order imposing 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports—excluding Canadian energy at 10%—plus additional duties on Chinese products.

In response, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a 25% duty on $155 billion in U.S. goods, beginning with $30 billion in tariffs Tuesday.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum indicated reciprocal tariffs, rejecting claims that Mexico tolerates criminal groups trafficking fentanyl and insisting on respect for sovereignty.

Experts warn these tit-for-tat measures could drive up costs, disrupt supply chains, and mirror the previous U.S.-China trade war, possibly harming security.

    I just checked on mine, it says “Gulf of Mexico”. Perhaps it depends where a user is located?

      according to Al Jazeera it’s just the USA?

      Google announced on Monday that its online mapping platform, Google Maps, will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America for users in the US.

      just “Gulf of Mexico” for me here in Toronto

        The article literally says

        • Google Maps will display both Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of America to users who are neither in the US nor in Mexico.

      Idk when the change is implemented but Google said it would show

      • “Gulf of America” in the US
      • “Gulf of Mexico” in Mexico
      • Both names elsewhere

      Nothing has changed for Czech users yet.

        It annoys me so much. It hasn’t updated yet in Canada but “Gulf of America” is just wrong for any country outside of the US. Why show me Gulf of America when that’s not a recognised name for my own or any other country besides the USA.

          It’s just wrong for USA too. There’s lots of reasons to rename things but jingoism is not a valid one
