The Trump administration plans to roll out tariffs against Mexico, Canada and China on Saturday in response to an influx of illegal fentanyl into the U.S., according to the White House.
Trump also signaled that he also may increase tariffs for European Union countries, and said that the tariffs would make the U.S. "very rich and very strong." Diana Stancy is a politics reporter with Fox News Digital covering the White House.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced earlier Friday that Trump would roll out tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China starting Saturday.
Trump’s economic plan during his campaign called for extending the 2017 tax cuts and imposing tariffs ranging from 10% to 20% on all imported goods. For countries like China, that number could go up to 60%.
