25 Percent Canada, Mexico Tariffs to Take effect on March 4th

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that there was no chance for Mexico or Canada to prevent 25% tariffs from taking effect on Tuesday, sending financial markets reeling on the prospect of new economic barriers in North America. “They’re going to have to have a tariff. So what they have to do is build their car plants, frankly, and other things in the United States, in which case they no tariffs,” Trump said at the White House. He said there was “no room left” for a deal that would avert the tariffs by curbing fentanyl flows into the United States. Tariffs due to take effect at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.
