President Trump said that his proposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico would come into effect on March 4 as scheduled, arguing that drugs are still entering the U.S. from those countries. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump added that China will face an additional 10% surcharge that day. On Wednesday, Trump appeared to indicate that postponed import tariffs on Canada and Mexico could be delayed by roughly another month, saying the levies would come into effect on April 2. "I have to tell you that, you know, on April 2, I was going to do it on April 1," Trump said. "But I’m a little bit superstitious, I made it April 2, the tariffs go on. Not all of them but a lot of them."
