President Donald Trump will impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and 10% tariffs on goods from China starting Saturday, as confirmed by the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Leavitt stated that reports claiming the tariffs would begin on March 1 are false, reaffirming that the February 1 deadline remains.
Trump has not confirmed whether there will be exemptions for Canadian and Mexican oil imports, despite previously considering them.
