25% tariff on Canada, Mexico coming Feb. 1: White House press secretary
Trump 'will be implementing tomorrow' a 25 per cent tariff on both Canada and Mexico, as well as a 10 per cent tariff on China, said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. It came after a Reuters report cited sources as saying tariffs on Mexico and Canada would become effective on March 1. Leavitt, who offered no updates on possible exemptions, pointed to fentanyl flows as a concern but vastly overstated the number of deaths from fentanyl in the U.S.
