U.S. President Donald Trump still plans to make good on his promise to issue tariffs on Canada and Mexico on Saturday, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday. Leavitt told reporters in her first White House press briefing that Trump also is still "very much" considering fresh tariffs on China for Saturday.

Chrystia Freeland, the former finance minister who is running to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada's prime minister, says her country needs to release a "retaliation list" of goods the country would target if U.

Instead, Trump told reporters he would narrow his focus on Canada and Mexico and pledged to impose 25% tariffs on both neighboring countries as soon as Feb. 1, 2025. The threat of said tariffs would be levied in retaliation for allowing illicit drugs and migrants to cross the border.
