Tariffs from President Trump are expected to be placed on a few countries starting Saturday.
From the Oval Office, Trump confirmed previous statements made by Pres Secretary Karoline Leavitt that 25% tariffs will be placed on Mexico and Canada and 10% tariffs on China beginning over the weekend. Trump said all three countries have not treated the United States well in recent years.
"We’ve suffered with millions of criminals coming into our country — and China makes fentanyl, gives it to Mexico, puts it through Canada," Trump told reporters Friday.
President Trump believes the tariffs will lead to success for the nation.
"I had almost no inflation and took in $600M from other countries," Trump said. "Tariffs don't cause inflation. They cause success."
It's possible the tariffs on those countries could increase. Trump also said he will impose tariffs on the European Union.
