U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said his proposed 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods will take effect on March 4 along with an extra 10% duty on Chinese imports because deadly drugs are still pouring into the U.

Trump imposes new tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, citing the ongoing fentanyl crisis and insufficient progress on curbing drug flows.
