Trump had been threatening the tariffs to ensure greater cooperation from the countries on stopping illegal immigration and the smuggling of chemicals used for fentanyl.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that there will be 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and 10% tariffs on goods from China starting on Saturday. This fulfills Trump’s repeated promise to implement tariffs on these countries throughout his campaign.

President Donald Trump will move forward with new tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China on Saturday, the White House said, affirming he would stick to his February 1 deadline for the new duties that could have widespread effects on the economy.
