President Donald Trump on Thursday said his proposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada will go into effect March 4, NPR reported.
The 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods were initially scheduled for Feb. 1, but Trump agreed to a 30-day pause after the two countries agreed to address his concerns about border security and drug trafficking.
