Tariffs are a central part of Trump’s economic plans. He promised to introduce import duties against some of America’s main trade partners during his election campaign.
He says tariffs will boost US manufacturing and protect jobs, as well as raising tax revenue and growing the economy.
The White House said, external said the president was also “taking bold action to hold Mexico, Canada, and China accountable to their promises of halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country.”
Fentanyl is linked to tens of thousands of overdose deaths in the US each year.
The Trump administration says the chemicals come from China, while Mexican gangs supply it illegally and run fentanyl labs in Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country was responsible for less than 1% of fentanyl entering the US.
