François-Philippe Champagne comments came hours before Trump said he will impose 25 per cent surtax on imports from Canada

President Donald Trump said his 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are coming on Saturday, but he’s still considering whether to include oil from those countries as part of his import taxes. “We may or may not,

Trump also indicated that he would proceed with tariffs on China. He didn’t specify the levy, though he’s previously said it would be 10%. Trump has said Beijing failed to follow through on promises to prevent fentanyl and the chemicals used to make the deadly drugs from flowing into the US.

WASHINGTON >> President Donald Trump today said he would soon decide whether to exclude Canadian and Mexican oil imports from the 25% tariffs that he has vowed to impose on Saturday on the countries’ products.

Billionaire Howard Lutnick, U.S. President Donald Trump's nominee to be commerce secretary, voiced his concerns about fentanyl coming from Canada into the U.S. during his confirmation hearing Wednesday on Capitol Hill.
