Trump to move on with Customs in Mexico, Canada, China – DW – 01/31/2025

US President Donald Trump will conduct customs duties on Washington’s three largest trading partners, namely Canada, Mexico and China, on Saturday, according to the White House.

Trump has repeated his plans for 25% tariffs in Canada and Mexico and said they have not failed to crack down on illegal migrants crossing the border with the United States and playing out the flow of Fentanyl.

He also warned of a 10% duty on Chinese goods and also highlights the spread of fentanyl into the United States.

“On February 1st, as President Trump introduced on a statement several weeks ago,” spokeswoman for the White House Karoline Leavitt told journalists on Friday.

“Both Canada and Mexico have allowed an unprecedented invasion of illegal fentanyl that kills American citizens, and also immigrants into our country,” she added.
