In recent remarks to the press, President Donald Trump restated his intention to impose 25% tariffs on U.S. imports from Mexico and Canada as early as Feb. 1. His reasoning: "vast" illegal immigration and "massive" amounts of fentanyl coming to the U.

President Donald Trump's nominee to run the Commerce Department, Howard Lutnick, said on Wednesday that Canada and Mexico can avoid looming U.S. tariffs if they act swiftly to close their borders to fentanyl,

Reversing the trend will require police on the reservation, which has none, and closer detox and rehabilitation centers that cater to Native Americans, tribal members and advocates say.

"If I could save at least one person out there, and I may not even know who that person is, it's a blessing in memory of my son," said Terrie Mirabal.

I think he’s going to be wise in how he does that,’ the House speaker said Monday of Trump’s warnings to America’s neighbors.

The president has also said he is "very much still considering" a 10 percent tariff on all Chinese goods beginning Feb. 1, White House press secretary

President Claudia Sheinbaum is detaining more migrants, seizing more fentanyl and positioning her country as a key ally against China. But the U.S. stance has shifted, too.

Having already forced Colombia to accept deportees by threatening a 25% tariff, President Donald Trump is readying the same move against Canada and Mexico as soon as Saturday. But this time, the stakes are higher and many economists surveying the possible damage doubt Trump would be comfortable with what they say would be self-inflicted wounds from the tariffs.

The drug is increasingly manufactured in and trafficked from the U.S.’s northern neighbor, though the numbers remain small compared with Mexico.

While President Sheinbaum said a tariff on Mexico's exports can still be averted, Donald Trump insists the measure will take effect Feb. 1.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday she doesn't believe the United States will impose tariffs on Feb. 1, after the White House doubled down on U.S. President Donald Trump's pledge to do so.
