White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Friday that tariffs would be going into effect on Saturday, February 1 on Canada, Mexico, and China over illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
A reporter asked about a report that said the tariffs may be pushed off to March 1, to which Leavitt replied, "I saw that report and it is false. I was just with the President in the Oval Office and I can confirm that tomorrow, the February 1 deadline that President Trump put into place in a statement several weeks ago continues."
