Trump says 25 per cent tariffs coming for Canada on Saturday
WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. President Donald Trump says he will slap Canada and Mexico with 25 per cent tariffs on Saturday.
The president says he will decide whether the duties will include oil Thursday night.
Trump, who was asked about the tariffs while signing executive orders in the Oval Office, says he is moving on the levies because of people and drugs crossing the border, as well as trade deficits.
Canadian officials have been cycling through Washington in recent days and reaching out to Trump’s team to argue that any duties would harm both countries’ economies.
