President Donald Trump said that his team was discussing a 10% tariff on China and that the duty could take effect as early as Feb. 1.

“We’re talking about a tariff of 10% on China based on the fact that they’re sending fentanyl to Mexico and Canada,” the president said, speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday evening.

“Probably Feb. 1 is the date we’re looking at,” he added.

Trump also noted on Tuesday that his team is talking about a tariff of “approximately 25%” on Mexico and China.

The president’s comments come a day after he said he was thinking of imposing 25% levies on Mexico and China as early as February. “We’re thinking in terms of 25% (levies) on Mexico and Canada, because they’re allowing a vast number of people” over the border, he said on Monday.

While campaigning in 2024, Trump had threatened imposing tariffs upward of 60% on ******** goods.
