But it's a lot of money coming to the United States."
Our border is safe and secure, and less than 1% of fentanyl and illegal crossings into the US come from Canada. We’re committed to keeping it that way by addressing our current challenges and strengthening our capacity,
President Trump's tariffs will tax America first,
If the president at any time decides to roll back those tariffs, I’ll leave it to him to make that decision. But starting tomorrow, those tariffs will be in place,
Both Canada and Mexico have allowed an unprecedented invasion of illegal fentanyl that is killing American citizens, and also immigrants into our country,
Now it is very important that the Mexican people know that we are always going to defend the dignity of our people, we are always going to defend the respect of our sovereignty and a dialogue between equals, as we have always said, without subordination,
Starting tomorrow, those tariffs will be in place,
We'll be announcing the tariffs on Canada and Mexico for a number of reasons,
The fentanyl coming through Canada is massive,
While Mexico and China are the primary source countries for fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked directly into the United States, India is emerging as a source for finished fentanyl powder and fentanyl precursor chemicals,
Canada and Mexico stand to lose 3.6 percent and two percent of real GDP respectively, while the U.S. would suffer a 0.3 percent real GDP loss,
As far as I know, they are acting swiftly, and if they execute it, there will be no tariff. And if they don’t, there will be,
… United States consumers would be affected” by the tariffs
I don’t have an update or readout for you on the exemptions but those tariffs will be for public consumption in about 24 hours tomorrow so you can read them then,
We’re going to wait with a cool head, as I have always said,
Number two are the drugs, fentanyl and everything else, that have come into the country and number three are the massive subsidies that we’re giving to Canada and to Mexico in the form of [trade] deficits,
You have to take into account … that Mexico is the main exporter [to the United States] of final goods such as cars, computers, televisions and refrigerators,
Number one is the people that have poured into our country so horribly and so much,
We have all the oil you need. We have all the the trees you need, meaning the lumber,
I’ll be putting the tariff of 25% on Canada and separately 25% on Mexico and we will really have to do that because we have very big deficits with those countries. Those tariffs may or may not rise with time,
