New Zealand's Trade Minister isn't speaking out against Donald Trump's tariffs just yet, but admits they'll impact Kiwi businesses.

The US President has imposed tariffs between 10 to 25 percent on Canada and Mexico.

Canada is slapping levies on US goods in response, and Mexico's threatening to do the same.

Todd McClay says his focus is on our relationship with the US. 

"We are talking to them about the importance of our relationship and how balanced the trade is - and we're just going to keep doing that for New Zealand exporters."
