US Tariffs On Canada, Mexico: United States President Donald Trump has said there was “no room left" for Canada or Mexico to avert US tariffs that will go into effect on Tuesday (March 4).

When asked about the possibility of a deal, Trump confirmed that “tariffs are all set and are going to effect" on March 4 as planned.

“No room left for Mexico or for Canada. No, the tariffs, you know, they’re all set. They go into effect tomorrow," he said during his ‘investment announcement’ on Monday (local time).

Earlier in the first week of February, Trump announced a 25 percent tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, along with an additional 10 percent tariff on goods from China. However, on February 4, he delayed the tariffs on Canada and Mexico for 30 days, citing new commitments from both countries to enhance border security. The delay followed conversations Trump had with the leaders of Mexico and Canada.

Trump also shared a message on Truth Social, urging American farmers to prepare to increase domestic agricultural production, stating, “To the Great Farmers of the United States: Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold INSIDE of the United States. Tariffs will go on the external product on April 2nd. Have fun!"

In a recent statement, Trump criticised the flow of illicit drugs, including fentanyl, allegedly coming from the borders of Canada and Mexico. He announced that the tariffs on both countries would proceed starting March 4, and reciprocal tariffs would continue with full force on April 2.

“Drugs are still pouring into our Country from Mexico and Canada at very high and unacceptable levels. A large percentage of these drugs, many of them in the form of fentanyl, are produced and supplied by China. More than 100,000 people died last year due to the distribution of these dangerous and highly addictive POISONS," Trump wrote on Truth Social last February.

Highlighting the drug smuggling issue, Trump vowed to take action to halt or significantly reduce the flow of these substances, especially fentanyl. “Millions of people have died over the last two decades. The families of the victims are devastated and, in many instances, virtually destroyed. We cannot allow this scourge to continue to harm the USA. Therefore, until it stops or is seriously limited, the proposed TARIFFS scheduled to go into effect on MARCH FOURTH will, indeed, go into effect, as scheduled," his post stated.

Additionally, China will face an extra 10 percent tariff starting March 4. “China will likewise be charged an additional 10 percent Tariff on that date. The April Second Reciprocal Tariff date will remain in full force and effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter. GOD BLESS AMERICA!" Trump added.
