Trump's tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico will take effect March 4th
Briefly

President Donald Trump reiterated that the 25 percent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, along with a 10 percent tariff on Chinese goods, will proceed unless drug imports, particularly fentanyl, are significantly reduced. This announcement follows a previous temporary waiver on tariffs for Canada and Mexico. Trump claims a significant amount of illicit drugs, especially fentanyl, is supplied by China. Some companies, such as Acer, are already warning consumers of potential price hikes due to these tariffs, and the automotive industry is preparing for possible impacts on deals and incentives.
