President Trump threatened tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China over various trade issues and the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. He claimed that these countries have treated the U.S. unfairly on trade and that he would impose tariffs if they did not change their policies.
“That’s coming on the 1st, Saturday,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office — appearing to dash doubts that he would make good on his threat to slap levies on America’s neighbors over dangerous drug imports and illegal immigration.“We’re going to make that determination probably tonight, on oil. Because they send us oil. We’ll see. It depends what the price is. If the oil is properly priced, if they treat us properly, which they don’t.
Trump added: “We have to free up some of the tree areas that we have. We have great lumber in this country. We have to free them up environmentally, which I can do very quickly.”The 45th and 47th president largely used tariff threats in his first term to knock down foreign trade policies he viewed as unfair — including threatening to tax French wine to shield US tech companies and impose an escalating wave of duties on China in a bid to force a major trade pact.
“So China is going to end up paying a tariff also for that and we’re in the process of doing that. We’ll make that determination when it’s going to be, but China has to stop sending fentanyl into our country and killing our people.”
