CANNON FALLS, Minn. — On the same day President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico went into effect, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Thom Petersen visited a corn and soybean farm in southeast Minnesota to highlight the impact a trade war would have on the state’s farmers.

Canadian leaders have pledged retaliatory efforts against tariffs imposed by President Trump, such as blocking electricity exports.
