WHITE HOUSE DENIES DELAY IN TARIFFS ON CANADA AND MEXICO

White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt refuted claims of a tariff delay on Canada.

A Reuters report suggested tariffs on Canada would be delayed until March 1, but this was denied.

The official deadline for imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico remains February 1.

The tariffs are intended as a response to the influx of illegal fentanyl and immigration issues.

Leavitt emphasized the tariffs were a measure to protect U.S. citizens from these concerns.
