President Donald Trump said his administration will go ahead with 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico on March 4, saying the two countries have not done enough on drug smuggling.
In a post on his Truth Social platform on Feb. 27, Trump said drugs like fentanyl were still “pouring into” the United States from the two countries at “unacceptable” levels, which he said had resulted in the death of more than 100,000 Americans in 2024.
