Trump says 25% Mexico, Canada tariffs will start March 4, plus additional 10% on China
President Donald Trump announced that tariffs of 25% on Mexican and Canadian goods will start on March 4, 2025, alongside an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports.
Trump linked the tariffs to illegal migration and fentanyl smuggling, stating that drugs are entering the U.S. at unacceptable levels.
The announcement caused the Dow futures to turn negative, dropping by 90 points after previously trading higher.
Concerns arose that escalating tariffs could negatively impact the global economy and consumer prices, particularly in the auto sector.
