President-elect Donald Trump plans to impose widespread tariffs when he takes office in late January 2025. He has stated that one of his first executive orders will be to impose a 25% tariff on all products imported from Canada or Mexico.

The imposition of such tariffs will have significant implications for megaprojects, including large infrastructure developments like highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, and railways, as well as large-scale energy projects like power plants, oil and gas facilities, and renewable energy installations.
