that president trump has confirmed that his administration will impose tariffs on america's three biggest trading partners. >> yes. and it all starts today. imports from mexico and canada will be hit with levies of 25%, whilst chinese goods will face a tax 10%, though some products like oil could be spared. >> well, speaking from the oval office, president trump hinted that the eu could be next in line. >> the european union charges us 20% plus plus plus a vat tax called the vat tax. very similar and it costs us an absolute fortune. we are treated so badly and we have a tremendous deficit with the european union. so we'll be doing something very substantial. >> now, of course, the goal of these tariffs is to drive more americans to buy domestic products. but critics warn that the move could spike prices generally and fuel inflation. >> well, that's the argument. trump doesn't buy it. >> tariffs don't cause it. they

cause success and cause big success. so we're going to have great success. there could be some temporary short term disruption and people will understand that. >> let's get the thoughts of political commentator john oxley who's here in the studio. good to see you, john. good morning. is it a tariffs actually a bad thing. they have a very bad press if you like. but i mean from america from an america first perspective, it depends. >> on the state of your economy. there's times when tariffs can be very helpful. a good example places like south korea, japan after the second world war, they really built up their economy by saying, we're not going to import stuff, we're going to whack on high tariffs, and we're going to build up our domestic industries. but it's very different for an advanced economy like the united states sort of whacking on these tariffs. and we've not seen it in the same way. and for a lot of industries, a lot of people in america, these applying at very short notice is going to be

hugely disruptive because their systems are built around how things were up until midnight tonight. really. >> i mean, the arguments against say that tariffs are hard on everybody, both the country imposing the tariffs and the countries on whom it is imposed. >> exactly that. so from the outside, you're not able to sell your goods into the united states. but for people in the united states, you even if you're relying on them to build up local capacity and buying locally, if those things aren't there because you've relied on imports for a long time, it will just drive up prices. and we've seen this in the past. the united states, for example, put tariffs on steel and it drove up car prices and hit the car makers. so you have to be very careful about how these affect other parts of your economy. and really there's a reason for so many years, the big international drive has been to get rid of tariffs, to have free trade agreements. we talked about trade agree
