WASHINGTON (TNND) — The White House confirmed Friday that it will proceed with implementing tariffs on trade partners Mexico and Canada, as well as China, effective Saturday.

President Donald Trump had repeatedly threatened these tariffs during his campaign, citing what he perceives as inadequate border control by both countries, which he claims contributes to the U.S. migration crisis.

“I can confirm that tomorrow, the February 1st deadline, that President Trump put into place at a statement several weeks ago continuesThe President will be implementing tomorrow 25% tariffs on Mexico, 25% tariffs on Canada and a 10% tariff on China for the illegal fentanyl that they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country, which has killed tens of millions of Americans,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Critics argue that these tariffs will raise prices for American consumers and ultimately harm the economy.

Meanwhile, Trump signed a series of executive orders in the Oval Office on Friday, telling reporters he plans to impose additional tariffs on the European Union, as well as on foreign semiconductors, oil, and gas.

That’ll happen very soon. I think around the 18th of February. And we’re going to put a lot of tariffs on steelThis will be a tremendous amount of money for our country. These are big numbers,” Trump said.

The news comes as ABC News reported that federal employees were instructed Friday to remove pronouns from their email signatures by the end of the day. The internal memos reportedly cited Trump’s executive orders from his first day in office, which aimed to reduce federal diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
