President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico went into effect on March 4, in addition to a doubling of the 10 percent universal tariff on imports from China to 20 percent.
Trump confirmed in a Truth Social post on Feb. 27 that the plan would move forward, pointing toward illicit drugs such as fentanyl being smuggled into the United States from the two neighboring countries. He said the tariffs will be in place until these countries take major steps to prevent trafficking.
