President Donald Trump, asked on Monday whether tariffs would be placed on Canadian and Mexican goods when the deadline for a pause on such action arrives next week, reiterated his view that the United States had been mistreated by its neighbors and allies.

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.

The Trump administration told Mexican officials that they should put their own duties on Chinese imports as part of their efforts to avoid tariffs threatened by President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.
