Trump Imposes Tariffs, Delays Most, Except on Canada
President Trump has put new taxes, called tariffs, on products from many countries.
These taxes will make things more expensive.
Most of them start August 7th.
But Canada has a high tax right away.
Mexico has some time to talk about it.

Tariffs range from 15% to 41%.
Most tariffs are delayed until August 7.
A 35% tariff on many Canadian goods took effect immediately.
