Mexico, Canada tariffs coming Tuesday, but Trump will set exact levels, says US commerce head

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a Sunday Fox News interview that tariffs on Canada and Mexico will go into effect as planned on Tuesday, but that President Donald Trump will determine their exact levels.

Trump has said he will impose 25% tariffs on the two countries on March 4.

"Maybe 25% doesn't go into effect," Lutnick said on Fox's "Sunday Morning Futures."


Trump is expected on Tuesday to raise tariffs on China from 10% to 20%, which is set unless the country ends fentanyl trafficking into the U.S., Lutnick said.
