US plans tariffs on USMCA countries, has issues with Canada

BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 05:00 PM EDT

WASHINGTON/MEXICO CITY, May 26 (Reuters) - The Trump administration's top trade official said on Tuesday that the U.S. plans tariffs on its North American free trade partners and has significant trade issues with Canada.

"We're going to have tariffs as long as we have a giant trade deficit," U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said at a forum. "The reality is we've spent the past year and a half going to countries telling them we have to have some level of tariff."

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
