Trump says tariffs on Canada coming Saturday, still considering oil levies
U.S. President Donald Trump says he will decide Thursday night whether to include oil in his tariff plan as he confirmed his intention to impose devastating duties on Canadian imports on Saturday.
“Because they send us oil, we’ll see,” Trump told reporters while signing executive actions in the Oval Office Thursday afternoon.
“It depends on what the price is. If the oil is properly priced, if they treat us properly — which they don’t.”
Trump initially claimed his 25 per cent tariff threat was in response to what he called the failure by Canada and Mexico to curb the illegal flow of people and drugs across the border.
