President Donald Trump said 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are on track to go into place next week, and said he would impose an additional 10% tax on Chinese imports.
Trump said Thursday in a social media post that drugs from the US’s North American neighbors are still entering “at very high and unacceptable levels.”
“We cannot allow this scourge to continue to harm the USA, and therefore, until it stops, or is seriously limited, the proposed TARIFFS scheduled to go into effect on MARCH FOURTH will, indeed, go into effect, as scheduled,” the president wrote. “China will likewise be charged an additional 10% Tariff on that date.”
Trump had sowed confusion about the timing and the scope of his tariff plans at a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, when he appeared to conflate the tariffs on Canada and Mexico, which are tied to drug trafficking and illegal migration, with separate reciprocal duties his administration plans on nations worldwide.
“The April Second Reciprocal Tariff date will remain in full force and effect,” the president wrote on Thursday.
