Trump says tariffs on Mexico and Canada 'could go up,' declines to rule out possible recession

Source: CNN

President Donald Trump said tariffs on some goods from Canada and Mexico planned for April 2 “could go up,” and would not predict whether the United States will have a recession in 2025.

In an interview that aired on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo,” Trump said reciprocal tariffs would go into effect on April 2 and the one-month reprieve granted to Mexico and Canada was a “little bit of a break.”

In February, Trump announced 25% tariffs on the United States’ neighboring countries. Those were delayed for a month and imposed on Tuesday, until Trump decided on Wednesday to pause tariffs on automakers for another month. He again changed course on Thursday, pausing tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods covered by the USMCA free trade treaty until April.

“It’s a transition into April and after that, I’m not doing this. I told (automakers), ‘Look, I’m going to do it this one time,’” said Trump.

let the Republicans lose everything on hopes and dreams for MAGA. The GOP wants a recession so they exploit it to buy cheap stocks and abuse cheap labor. Americans can finally take back the jobs that undocumented immigrants were doing.
