Trump's Tariff Tuesday: Canada, Mexico Levies To Take Effect | India Global

Donald Trump's Tariffs | U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada and Mexico will go into effect on Tuesday (March 4), as originally planned, but President Donald Trump would determine whether to stick with the original 25 per cent level, America's commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick said. The 30-day pause on duties for Canada and Mexico, which President Trump tied to illegal border crossings and the flow of fentanyl into the US, is set to expire on March 4. Lutnick's comments were the first indication from Trump's administration that it may not impose the full threatened 25% tariffs on all goods from Mexico and non-energy imports from Canada. He said the two countries have "done a reasonable job" securing their borders with the United States, though the deadly drug fentanyl continues to flow into the country. NDTV's Gaurie Dwivedi speaks to Professor of Politics at Fordham University Sophie Fullerton to discuss this and more.
