Trump Administration Announces Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China Starting Saturday


The White House has confirmed that President Donald Trump will impose tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China starting this Saturday. According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the tariffs will be 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico, and 10% on goods from China.

The decision follows through on Trump's earlier threats aimed at pressuring these countries to halt the flow of migrants and fentanyl across their borders. Despite concerns about potential price increases for U.S. consumers, Leavitt emphasized that these measures are part of the administration's commitment to "promises made and promises kept".

The tariffs are set to take effect without any exemptions, raising questions about their impact on the economy and trade relations. The administration remains firm on its stance, with Leavitt stating that the President is determined to implement these tariffs while addressing inflation and costs for Americans.
