Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said Trump will be implementing 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada as well as a 10% duty on China, in retaliation for “the illegal fentanyl that they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country.”

The White House provided few details on exactly how the levies will be meted out, saying that they will be available for public inspection at some point Saturday.
