Trump's 25% Tariffs on Canada and Mexico Set to Take Effect Saturday

The White House has announced that President Donald Trump will implement 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico starting this Saturday. This move is part of Trump's ongoing efforts to address trade deficits and concerns over the flow of illegal fentanyl into the United States.
