Precautions for travelers to Canada, Mexico amidst tariffs

As tensions rise due to newly imposed tariffs between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, travelers are advised to take extra precautions when visiting these neighboring countries.  Economic shifts and trade disputes have caused fluctuations in prices, potential supply chain disruptions, and heightened scrutiny at border crossings. These issues have made it increasingly important for travelers to stay informed and plan their trips carefully to avoid unexpected complications. The increase in tariffs is anticipated to lead to rising prices on goods, including food, fuel, and travel-related expenses. Travelers should budget accordingly as they may encounter higher costs during their trips.
