With all this talk about the tariffs Donald Trump has enacted on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, you may well be wondering which products it is that'll actually be affected.

Our colleagues on the BBC's visual journalism team have taken a look at just that, using data from last November to see what the three nations imported most to the US at that time.

Take a look:

Canada is in a whole lotta trouble cuz most of its economy is dependent upon US subsidies. Its the same down unda in Aus/ NZ where everything of value is either imported from the US or China and there's no escaping this fact.

Trump has collapsed Nato too and now the EU itself might unravel as a consequence of the knock on impacts.

Colluddz bicharay ghareeb in the third whulld watching all this go down with nervous foreboding of the inevitable.

If yous not adding any value to the bottom line bhai, you are on borrowed time or already dumped!

Ghareebon ko paisay ne denay ab Trump sahb ne.........
