U.S. President Donald Trump’s press secretary says the plan to slap Canada with tariffs on Saturday is still in play, as NDP leader Jagmeet Singh leaves the door open to supporting the Liberal government if devastating duties are implemented.

Karoline Leavitt told reporters at the White House that she spoke with the president Monday night and he indicated Feb. 1 was “still on the books” for imposing tariffs against Canada and Mexico.
