Officials from Mexico, Canada and China and major industry groups warned that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's threat of hefty tariffs on goods would harm the economies of all involved, cause inflation to spike and damage job markets.

The US president-elect is using tariffs as a weapon of diplomacy, even coercion, says BBC economics editor Faisal Islam.

The president-elect said that he would impose the across-the-board tariffs on Day 1 and that they would stay in place until Canada, Mexico and China halted the flow of drugs and migrants.

Donald Trump says he will impose a 25% tariff on goods coming from Mexico and Canada, plus an extra 10% on Chinese goods.
