New Tariffs On Canada & Mexico Delayed
On March 4, the Trump administration imposed 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and doubled the universal tariff on imports from China to 20%. In response, Canada implemented tariffs on U.S. products and China banned U.S. logs. On March 6, the U.S. tariffs on Canada and Mexico were delayed until April 2. President Trump has stated that illicit drugs like fentanyl are being smuggled into the U.S. at unacceptable levels and that tariffs would force other countries to crack down on drug trafficking.
