(NAFB.com) – President Donald Trump didn’t impose tariffs against Mexico and Canada right away as he previously stated. Instead, Farm Policy News says President Trump is thinking about possible 25 percent duties on imports from the USA’s North American neighbors by February 1 because of illegal immigrants and fentanyl crossing into the U.S. Trump did direct federal agencies to investigate persistent U.S. trade deficits, unfair trade practices, and alleged currency manipulation by other countries. Reporters did ask whether the White House would impose an across-the-board tariff on all imports, and the president said, “We may, but we aren’t ready for that right now.” He also held off on imposing day-one tariffs on Chinese goods, instead ordering his administration to investigate whether Beijing had lived up to the Phase One Trade Deal from his first term. In response, Canadian officials said that they would be ready to retaliate against potential U.S. tariffs.
