Axios reports:
The White House said it will still roll out 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, alongside 10% tariffs on China, on Feb. 1 — pushing back against a report that suggested tariffs wouldn’t be implemented until March 1.
Reuters reported earlier on Friday that the White House would push off tariff implementation until March 1 — leaving a window for negotiation that could kill the plan altogether.
“I saw that report and it is false,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. “I was just with the president in the Oval Office, and I can confirm that tomorrow, the February 1st deadline that President Trump put into place in a statement several weeks ago, continues.”
Read the full article. What really happened, of course, is Trump got pissed that someone leaked the March date to Reuters and decided to “prove” that they are fake news by moving up the date.
Leavitt: “The president will be implementing tomorrow 25 percent tariffs on Mexico, 25 percent on Canada, and a 10 percent tariff on China.”
