  • President Donald Trump delays implementing 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian products for one month while negotiating with both countries. China, however, still faces a 10% tariff over fentanyl trafficking.
  • China condemned the tariffs and plans to file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization.
  • Trump said tariffs may cause Americans some pain, but the price is necessary to “Make America Great Again.”

President Donald Trump is in dealmaking mode regarding his new tariffs. Hours before implementing 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian products, Trump pressed pause for both countries. But China, facing a 10% levy starting Tuesday, Feb. 4, appears to have been left out of the last-minute deals.
