 Canada, Mexico, China kick as Trump announces US tariffs President Donald Trump announced broad tariffs Saturday on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, claiming a “major threat” from illegal immigration and drugs. This move sparked promises of retaliation. Canadian and Mexican exports to the United States will face a 25 per cent tariff starting Tuesday, although energy resources from Canada will have a lower 10 per cent levy. An additional 10 per cent tariff will be applied to goods from China, which already face various rates of duty. Trump’s orders also suspended exemptions allowing low-value imports from the three countries to enter the US duty-free. The announcement threatens upheaval across supply chains, from energy to automobiles to food.

Gabam made this statement on the Sunday edition of Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, a socio-political programme aired on Channels Television. He highlighted some of the policies of Tinubu’s administration, which he described as unpopular, including the sudden removal of the petrol subsidy, the unification of forex rates, the electricity tariff hike, and the telecoms tariff hike, among others. “He (Tinubu) needs to review some of his policies, he needs to rejig his cabinet if he wants to leave a legacy by two years.

 Why marketers may not reduce pump price after Dangote’s depot price reduction — PETROAN The Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) has said that the latest reduction of the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery may not reflect immediately in pump prices across the country. While speaking in an interview on Arise News (TV), the National President of PETROAN, Billy Gillis-Harry, welcomed the depot price reduction by Dangote but highlighted the challenges of implementing an immediate change in retail prices. He explained that many filling stations still have stock purchased at the previous higher price, making it difficult to adjust pump prices immediately. He said, “Price changes are not usually instantly applicable, but ultimately it will apply. You can’t see it immediately, because we have already bought products. We have already purchased different kinds of products in our retai...
