WASHINGTON—The Trump administration is imposing tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China starting on Feb. 1 over the countries’ roles in facilitating the flow of illicit fentanyl into the United States, the White House announced on Jan. 31.

The tariffs on Mexico and Canada are 25 percent, and 10 percent tariffs on China. The move marks a follow-through of a pledge made by Trump in November 2024 to place tariffs on goods from those countries.
