Trump to follow through with tariffs on Mexico, Canada DW 01/31/2025
Briefly

President Trump is set to implement new tariffs on three major trading partners: Canada, Mexico, and China. The tariffs include a 25% duty on goods from Canada and Mexico due to their inaction on illegal migration and the fentanyl crisis affecting the U.S. Additionally, there is a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, also related to concerns over fentanyl. White House officials emphasize that the deadline for these tariffs remains strict, highlighting the urgency of the situation and the need for these countries to take strong actions against fentanyl trafficking.
The February 1 deadline that President Trump put into place at a statement several weeks ago continues. Both Canada and Mexico have allowed an unprecedented invasion of illegal fentanyl that is killing American citizens.
President Trump stated that the failing of Canada and Mexico to successfully tackle illegal migration and stamp out fentanyl has prompted him to implement tariffs.
