President Donald Trump on Sunday defended his decision to impose broad tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, acknowledging they may cause “some pain” but claiming it “will all be worth the price,” as the import taxes have been widely condemned by business groups and economists who warn they’ll raise prices for American consumers.

Amid warnings of price increases, Canada moved quickly to retaliate, China said it had planned countermeasures and Mexico said it would soon unveil its response.

Trump’s move to impose new tariffs has bewildered the United States’ closest allies and trading partners, who have vowed to respond with levies of their own.
