For President Donald Trump, cracking down on trade imbalances that hurt the US economy is a campaign promise kept, but it may put a pain in the purses of Americans until new deals can be worked out.

Today, the Trump administration is imposing tariffs on aluminum and steel from America’s allies: Canada, Mexico and the European Union.

“Let me be clear. These tariffs are totally unacceptable,” said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Back in March, the president gave these nations more time to negotiate, but with no deal, the president stayed true to his deadline.
