“In an apparent ending to weeks of intense speculation, the White House confirmed Friday that President Donald Trump will be leveling aggressive tariffs this weekend on major U.S. trading partners,” CNBC reports.
“Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said Trump will be implementing 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada as well as a 10% duty on China, in retaliation for ‘the illegal fentanyl that they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country.'”
However, Reuters reports the tariffs won’t begin until March 1.
