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.
