Trump's tariffs, explained

<p>It&rsquo;s been two weeks since U.S. President Donald Trump became president, and there have - of course - been many headline-making moves from the 47th president already.&nbsp;</p> <p>One that our audience has been asking us to explain is his policy on tariffs.</p> <p>Over the weekend, Trump signed an executive order to impose new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China. Trump claimed the tariffs, which will come into effect this week, will &ldquo;stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs from pouring across our borders&rdquo;.</p> <p>So, what does this all mean? We are here to answer your questions.&nbsp;<br /><br />Hosts: Billi FitzSimons and Emma Gillespie&nbsp;</p> <p>Producer: Orla Maher</p> <p>Want to support The Daily Aus? That's so kind!
