American tariffs on Canada and Mexico will take place on Tuesday, the head of trade says

US tariffs against Canada and Mexico should come into force on Tuesday, but their level will be decided by Donald Trump, said US trade secretary.

The US president has threatened to impose 25% of the tariffs that tax taxes on March 4 in response to the fact that he said is inadmissible the flow of illegal drugs and migrants in the US.

Trade Secretary Howard Lutnit said that the tariffs would take place on Sunday, but the exact details would depend on the negotiations.

It is expected that a 10% tariff for Chinese imports will also be implemented in response to the US allegations that Beijing does not make enough to stop the Fentanyl flow.

This means that if you enter into force, Chinese exports to the US will encounter at least 20%, after 10% tariffs that came into force a month ago.

Chinese state -owned media claim that Beijing leaders have prepared a number of countermeasures that took place on the same day, raising the prospect of the entire trade war between the two world economies.

The Chinese state newspaper Global Times said the opposition is likely to be aimed at US agricultural and food products.

Analysts believe that Beijing is still hoping to avoid a trade war and agree on a truce with the Trump administration, but there were no signs between the two economic giants.

Trump has long claimed that tariffs are a useful tool for correcting the US trade and protection imbalance.

Speaking on Sunday morning at the Fox News, the secretary of the Trade Lutsk said: “Tuesday in Mexico and Canada will be tariffs.

Canada has repeatedly said that tariffs to the detriment of both economics, but added that it would protect itself when they would happen.

In recent days, the Canadian Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand met officials in Washington and stated that the answer would be.

“We are steady driving. We are ready for any event, but at every turn we will defend our country’s economy,” She said CBC News.

Last month, Canada prepared a list of US $ 30 billion (23.6 billion pounds). The items in this list included daily goods such as pasta, clothing and perfume.

Canada Border Guard Services (CBSA) states that it “increases” its efforts to combat Fentonil’s intersection.

According to the United States, only 1% fentanyl confiscated from the US comes from Canada.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudan said on Sunday from the Ukraine summit in London that Canada is “no problem” as a source of illegal fentanyl in the United States.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum seemed to send Trump’s message after an interview by Lutnik when she said at a public event in Kalima that “Mexico needs to be respected.”

“Co -operation (i) coordination, yes, subordination, never.”

President Trump also announced 25% of the charges for the whole import of the steel and aluminum, which is due to come into force on March 12.

In addition, he threatened to impose “return” tariffs in the individual countries, as well as 25% of tariffs on the European Union.
