Trump slaps tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China, risking higher prices for U.S. consumers
President Donald Trump signed an executive order issuing tariffs on goods coming into the U.S. from Canada, Mexico and China, raising the risk of a trade war with America’s closest trading partners and threatening to drive up prices on everything from cars to avocados. The only products exempt from the tariffs are Canadian energy products, which would have a lower tariff rate of 10% to "minimize any disruptive effects we might have on gasoline and home heating oil prices," said the senior administration official.
Here’s what Trump’s tariff threats look like on the ground in China
Chinese exporters say they are considering moving manufacturing to different countries, passing on higher costs to U.S. consumers or leaving the U.S. market altogether.

Republicans downplay worries about rising costs due to Trump’s tariffs
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Sunday defended President Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico, saying in an interview: "Economically, yes, they will, they will feel pain. They will feel what the consequences are, and we'll be able to continue to go forward with the president, who is strong, who is putting America first." Noem emphasized the Trump administration's justification for imposing tariffs on the three countries, saying all three have not been cooperative in U.S. efforts to curb the flow of fentanyl into the country. She dismissed the fact that the amount of fentanyl intercepted at the northern border last year was a small fraction of the amount intercepted at the southern border, according to statistics from Customs and Border Protection.
Egg prices have soared as farmers contend with bird flu outbreak
No wonder American consumers are feeling shell shock. The average price for a dozen eggs in the United States has jumped 50% in the past year, and the cost increase appears to have accelerated since November, the month Donald Trump was elected president, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In the week ending Jan. 18, a dozen yolks cost $5.29, a steep climb from February 2024, when the price was a little over $3.50 a dozen, data compiled by the NIQ consumer research group shows. In November, the price of a dozen eggs edged up to $3.65, and in December the price rose again to $4.15, the BLS figures showed.
Ontario to remove U.S. alcohol from shelves after Trump’s tariffs announcement
Ontario will pull all American alcohol from its government-run liquor shelves beginning Tuesday in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian imports. Outlets of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario will also take U.S. products out of its catalog so other retailers can’t order or restock those items, according to a Sunday statement by Premier Doug Ford. “Every year, LCBO sells nearly $1 billion worth of American wine, beer, spirits and seltzers. Not anymore,” Ford said. “There’s never been a better time to choose an amazing Ontario-made or Canadian-made product.”
Trump's antagonism risks pushing U.S. allies closer to China
WASHINGTON — If foreign leaders have learned anything about Donald Trump’s presidency, it may be that they’re better off as America’s foe than its friend. So far, Trump has insulted Canada, played hardball with Denmark over the future of Greenland, cowed Colombia into repatriating undocumented immigrants on his terms and threatened to wrest from Panama the eponymous canal that is a source of great national pride. All are U.S. allies or partners to varying degrees. The State Department’s own website hails Panama as a democratic “partner” that works with the United States to “advance common interests.”
U.S. stock futures plummet after Trump hits U.S. trading partners with tariffs

The U.S. does about $1.6 trillion in business with the three countries.
How tracking blood sugar with continuous glucose monitoring may be helpful
Is there a benefit for healthy people to track their blood sugar? Measuring blood sugar has joined sleep and exercise tracking as wellness trends, with some longevity experts claiming that reducing fluctuations throughout the day can help protect against heart disease, even for people who don’t have diabetes. Continuous glucose monitors, or CGMs, are small devices that track blood sugar in real time and can tell wearers how their bodies are reacting to stress, food, sleep or exercise. New versions attach to a user’s arm and can pair with a smartphone to give blood sugar readings throughout the day. CGMs, which the Food and Drug Administration first approved in 1999, have traditionally been prescribed only to patients with diabetes. More recently, the FDA has approved two blood sugar monitors for over-the-counter use, making them available to anyone without prescriptions. As a result, people who don’t have diabetes are increasingly promoting them on social media sites like Reddit to help with weight loss or to monitor the benefits of exercise. Shannon Sackley, 30, a Realtor in Los Angeles, doesn’t have diabetes but has been wearing a blood sugar tracker for a couple of months after having watched a friend with diabetes use one. “I think it’s exciting and it’s just amazing that you can see how food affects your body,” she said. “I think it’s really valuable to have.”
