President Trump is using the threat of stiff tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico to pressure the two nations to start renegotiating a continental trade deal.

President Donald Trump said a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico could come on February 1 and that a universal tariff isn't off the table.

Trump said in an Oval Office signing ceremony on Monday that his administration will impose a 25% tax on goods from Canada and Mexico that may come as soon as February 1 – a move that could raise prices for American consumers.
