Mexico, Canada tariffs coming Tuesday
3/3/2025 6:11
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard
Lutnick said on Sunday that tariffs on Canada and Mexico will go
into effect as planned on Tuesday, but that President Donald
Trump will determine their exact levels.
Trump has said he will impose 25% tariffs on the two
countries on March 4.
"He's sort of thinking about right now how exactly he wants
to play with Mexico and Canada, and that is a fluid situation.
There are going to be tariffs on Tuesday on Mexico and Canada.
Exactly what they are, we're going to leave that for the
president and his team to negotiate," Lutnick told the Fox News
program "Sunday Morning Futures."
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.
Trump is also expected on Tuesday to raise tariffs on China
from 10% to 20% unless the country ends fentanyl trafficking
into the U.S., Lutnick said.
