President Donald Trump has just signed a bold new executive order that changes the game on global trade. In a sweeping move, the U.S. will impose new tariffs on imports from over 70 countries — with some rates reaching as high as 41%. Canada is hit especially hard, facing a sharp increase from 25% to 35%, which Trump says is in retaliation for fentanyl coming into the U.S.

The new tariffs take effect in just seven days, marking a major escalation in Trump's trade war aimed at boosting American manufacturing. Some countries, including Japan, Vietnam, and the EU, are also facing higher rates. But not everyone is affected equally — nations with trade surpluses face harsher penalties, while about 100 others stick with a baseline 10% tariff.

Critics say this could mean higher prices for consumers, but Trump insists his strategy is working, citing steady inflation. After years of back-and-forth tariff threats, is this the moment Trump finally follows through?

Watch the full breakdown now to see how this could impact global markets and your wallet.

00:00President Trump has just rocked the global economy again.
00:03On July 31, he signed a sweeping executive order that slaps new tariffs on imports from
00:09countries around the world.
00:10This move aims to push more domestic manufacturing back into the U.S.
00:14But here's the kicker.
00:16Canada, one of America's closest partners, is seeing its tariffs rise from 25 percent
00:21to 35 percent.
00:22That change takes effect August 1, and Trump says it's retaliation for the fentanyl crisis.
00:28For about 70 countries, new tariff rates will hit in just seven days.
00:33Forty of those nations now face a 15 percent tariff, while 30 others, including Laos, Myanmar,
00:39and Syria, will be hit with rates as high as 41 percent.
00:43But not every country gets slammed the same way.
00:46Around 100 countries still stick with a 10 percent baseline tariff, especially those where
00:51the U.S. exports more than it imports.
00:55Imports covered under the USMCA deal with Mexico and Canada?
00:58They're still safe for now.
01:00Critics warn this could drive up consumer prices, but Trump points to stable inflation
01:04as proof his strategy works.
01:06He's delayed tariffs before, earning the nickname Taco Trade.
01:10Trump always chickens out.
01:12But this time, he says, he's going all in.
