Have you ever traded toys or snacks with your friends? It’s fun when everyone gets something they like! 😊 Countries do this too—they trade things they make for things they need. But recently, something is changing in the United States.
President Trump wants to put higher tariffs (that’s like extra taxes) on products coming from Canada and Mexico. Imagine if you had to pay a big fee just to get your friend’s snack! 😮
An economist named Xing Yuqing from Japan says this might make other countries not want to trade with America. He thinks President Trump wants America to be alone in trading with others. What do you think happens when countries stop trading together? 🤔
It’s important for countries to cooperate, just like friends do, so everyone can have what they need and be happy!
