I understand it's difficult for you to understand these things.
Right now Trump has regular tariffs in place. News reports are telling us that he plans to remove them or has removed them.
However, in NAFTA 2.0 there are provisions for tariffs to automatically kick in if certain conditions aren't met. I explained it once, but perhaps if I repeat myself in a larger and bolder font it would help you to understand better.
....under the new plan employees who make automobiles must make $16/hour (or face a small tariff). The concept here is to make it less profitable to make cars in Mexico, or Canada. But the truth is the tariff is small and the costs will be passed onto Americans.
So.... tariffs were removed but will go back into place again because plants in Mexico aren't about to pay anyone $16/hour so.... Again the costs are passed onto Americans.
