Donald Trump Confirms Tariff Timeline on Mexico, Canada, and China
US president Donald Trump has stated that the United States will move forward with tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada unless measures are taken to curb drug trafficking, especially fentanyl. He emphasized the need to address the issue, calling the substances “dangerous and highly addictive poisons.”
He also confirmed that China will face an additional 10% tariff starting on the same date. “We cannot allow this scourge to continue,” Trump said, reiterating his stance on trade and national security. The reciprocal tariff on the European Union, set for April 2, remains unchanged.
Following Trump’s confirmation of the tariffs, Bitcoin price has experienced a decline, falling below $86,000 again. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin price dropped by 0.51% to trade at $85,697, marking its fourth consecutive day of losses. The decline comes amid broader market concerns, with analysts warning of further corrections towards the $80K support before stability returns.
