President Donald Trump confirmed Monday that his new 25% tariffs on all Canadian and Mexican goods will “go forward” on March 4. The president ordered the new tariffs in early February but delayed their implementation for one month after the Canadian and Mexican governments brokered agreements with the White House regarding border security and fentanyl

Canada and Mexico are expected to intensify efforts this week to avoid punishing 25% tariffs on their exports to the U.S. in talks to persuade President Donald Trump's administration that their steps to increase border security and curb fentanyl trafficking are working ahead of a March 4 deadline.

President Donald Trump said sweeping tariffs on Canada and Mexico "will go forward" when a monthlong delay on their implementation expires next week.
