Donald Trump postpones the application of 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada until April 2

WASHINGTON.- During a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump said the 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada would take effect on April 2 if the two countries demonstrate progress on the border by March 4, the date initially planned.

When asked about the entry into force of these taxes, the president replied: “On April 2.” “For Mexico and Canada?” a journalist asked him. “Correct. And for everything.”

"Tariffs will continue on April 2," Donald Trump said at a meeting with his cabinet at the White House.
