President Donald Trump said Thursday that 25% of the goods imported from Canada and Mexico would take effect on Tuesday, March 4.
In a publication about its real social application, Trump said tariffs were necessary to combat continuous drug flows in the United States.
“We cannot allow this scourge to continue damaging the United States,” he wrote, adding that tariffs would be imposed “until they stop or seriously limited.”
Trump also said that reciprocal tariffs on the main commercial partners, which the president threatened earlier this month, were scheduled to enter into force on April 2.
The main rates of shares withdrew in the news after obtaining previous profits on Thursday morning. Trump has continued to maintain balance as he advanced, then removed, several rates proposals in recent weeks. He has also offered conflicting foundations for imposing them, with a long -standing fixation when closing the commercial deficit of the United States that gives way to continuous concerns about drug flows, despite the fact that customs interdiction data and border control of the United States show that traffic is already in retreat.
Days after proposing for the first time the duties of Canada and Mexico earlier this month, the president announced that he would be suspending them for 30 days after indicating that he had gained concessions of the two nations. Some experts said that some of those profits, which included a deployment of troops in Mexico and a new anti -drug policy for Canada, were less substantial than those announced.
A proposal for steel and aluminum rates announced earlier this month was also scheduled to enter into force on March 4, but Trump did not mention those tasks in its publication on Thursday’s social networks.
More recently, the president requested tariffs on cars, computer chips and pharmaceutical products.
However, they were not mentioned on Thursday.
And as for the reciprocal duties now planned for April, the White House has indicated that these rates would also depend on the studies of its potential impact.
In total, although Trump has threatened a group of tariffs since he assumed the position, only an additional 10% service in Chinese products in addition to the pre -existing taxes in that nation has entered into force so far.
Even so, many analysts say that unpredictability only created by Trump’s talk has already affected the markets and the economy.
“Instead of clarifying uncertainty about the direction of the United States Economic Policy, Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential elections last November has only magnified it,” said the research and consulting group of the capital economy in a note to customers on Thursday morning, “with threats of mass punitive fees and the potential alteration of traditional geopolitical alliances that are displayed in Rest of the world in a state of mass flashes.
Trump has previously stated that tasks would generate income and help close the US budget deficit.
“Our country will be extremely liquid and rich again,” Trump said.
