Trump tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico: Where things stand and what’s next

Rep. Mark Alford, R-Mo., reacts to Mexico and Canada reaching a deal with President Donald Trump for pauses on tariffs, China imposing retaliatory tariffs and the latest regarding reconciliation.

President Donald Trump’s tariffs on China took effect on Tuesday ahead of a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, while the tariff fight with Canada and Mexico is on hold for at least a month.

Trump on Saturday signed three executive orders to impose tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico, respectively, that were to take effect on Feb. 4.

Each of the orders cited presidential authority under emergency declarations to impose tariffs on those countries over what the president called their failure to block fentanyl shipments across the U.S. border. The orders also called for Canada and Mexico to curb illegal immigration into the U.S.

The president held calls with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday and later announced that the implementation of the tariffs would be delayed for at least one month due to commitments made on border security.

Here’s a look at where things stand in Trump’s tariff dispute with China, Canada and Mexico.

China

The executive order Trump signed on Feb. 1 imposed a 10% tariff on products imported from China and also suggested that the president could increase or expand tariffs if the Chinese government retaliates. Those tariffs took effect on Feb. 4.

China responded with retaliatory tariffs of 15% on coal and liquefied natural gas and 10% on crude oil, agricultural equipment and large-engine cars imported from the U.S. that will take effect on Feb. 10.

HOW TRUMP’S TARIFFS CLOSED THE LOOPHOLE USED BY CHINESE RETAILERS

It will also impose export controls on certain rare earth minerals and metals used in advanced technology and clean energy products.

Additionally, the Chinese government launched an anti-monopoly investigation into Alphabet, the parent company of Google, and added biotechnology firm Illumina and PVH Corp., the holding company for brands including Calvin Klein, to its “unreliable entities list.”

Trump and Xi are expected to hold a call on Tuesday.

Canada

Trump’s Feb. 1 executive order imposed a 25% tariff on imported goods from Canada, as well as a lower 10% tariff on Canadian energy products, that would take effect on Feb. 4.

Canada retaliated by announcing it would impose retaliatory 25% tariffs on U.S. exports, including on beer, wine, bourbon, fruits and fruit juices, apparel, sports equipment and household appliances. Trudeau added Canada was considering non-tariff measures related to critical minerals, energy and other partnerships.

TRUMP TARIFFS PROMPT WARNINGS FROM TRADE GROUPS

Trump and Trudeau spoke on Monday and announced a one-month delay in tariffs. Trudeau signaled that Canada will deploy 10,000 personnel to help secure the country’s border with the U.S., as well as implement a previously announced $1.3 billion border plan.

After the two governments announced the agreement, Trump signed an executive order pausing the tariffs until March 4. The order noted that Trump can impose the paused tariffs “if the illegal migration and illicit drug crises worsen, and if the Government of Canada fails to take sufficient steps to alleviate these crises.”

Mexico

Trump’s executive order on Feb. 1 imposed a 25% tariff on products imported from Mexico. Mexico’s government vowed to retaliate with its own tariffs and non-tariff measures, though Sheinbaum didn’t reveal which products or activities would be targeted.

Trump and Sheinbaum spoke on Monday and reached an agreement to pause tariffs that would see Mexico deploy 10,000 members of its National Guard to the border to prevent drug trafficking and illegal immigration, while the Mexican president said the U.S. would work to prevent firearms smuggling into Mexico. The Mexican government has previously announced similar deployments to the border for security purposes.

Trump also signed an executive order pausing the tariffs until March 4, as he did in response to the Canada agreement, that contained an identical warning about the tariffs being imposed if there is insufficient progress on border security.

FBI agents sue Trump DOJ to block any public identification of employees who worked on Jan. 6 investigations

A group of nine FBI agents filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking to block the public identification of any FBI employees who worked on the Jan. 6 investigations into the U.S. Capitol riots, in an attempt to head off what they described as potentially retaliatory efforts against personnel involved in the probe.

The plaintiffs, who filed the lawsuit anonymously in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said that any effort to review or discriminate against FBI employees involved in the Jan. 6 investigations would be “unlawful and retaliatory,” and a violation of civil service protections under federal law.

The lawsuit cited the questionnaire employees were required to fill out detailing their specific role in the Jan. 6 investigation and Mar-a-Lago investigation led by former special counsel Jack Smith.

FBI AGENTS GROUP TELLS CONGRESS TO TAKE URGENT ACTION TO PROTECT AGAINST POLITICIZATION

“Some Plaintiffs were required to fill out the survey themselves, others were told that their supervisors would be filling out the form,” the lawsuit noted, adding that the employees “were informed that the aggregated information is going to be forwarded to upper management.”

“Plaintiffs assert that the purpose for this list is to identify agents to be terminated or to suffer other adverse employment action. Plaintiffs reasonably fear that all or parts of this list might be published by allies of President Trump, thus placing themselves and their families in immediate danger of retribution by the now pardoned and at-large Jan. 6 convicted felons.”

President Donald Trump declined to answer questions on Monday over whether his administration would remove FBI employees involved in the investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, telling reporters only that he believes the bureau is “corrupt” and that his nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, will “straighten it out.”

Trump eyes Abraham Accords expansion, Gaza rebuild with Netanyahu meeting on deck

The Trump administration is eyeing an expansion of the Abraham Accords, hoping to bring new countries into the agreement, and the rebuilding of Gaza, senior administration officials said before the commander in chief’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The meeting is set to take place at the White House on Tuesday afternoon, followed by a joint press conference with President Donald Trump and Netanyahu. The meeting and the joint press conference will be the first Trump has held with a world leader since taking office again in January.

ISRAEL’S NETANYAHU DEPARTS FOR US TO MEET WITH TRUMP, HOPING TO STRENGTHEN TIES WITH WASHINGTON

The two leaders are expected to discuss maintaining ceasefire deals and a joint commitment to freeing hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, senior administration officials said.

Officials said Trump is focused on getting all hostages out and ensuring Hamas cannot continue to govern.

Trump and Netanyahu are also expected to discuss the second phase of talks on the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal.

“There will be unity in how they intend to pursue that,” one official said.

Beyond the ceasefire agreement, the president is expected to raise the issue of rebuilding Gaza.

A senior administration official said Trump sees Gaza as a “demolition site,” and thinks it is “inhumane to force people to live” there in its current state.

Officials said Trump expects it to take between 10 and 15 years to rebuild Gaza, but said the rebuild is not something the U.S. is going to solve unilaterally.

Meanwhile, senior administration officials said the president hopes for an expansion of the Abraham Accords, which were brokered during the first Trump administration.

The Abraham Accords was a historic peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates that normalized relations and created bilateral agreements regarding “investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, health care, culture, the environment, the establishment of reciprocal embassies, and other areas of mutual benefit.”

“We obviously hope that the expansion of the Abraham Accords will continue and flourish, in this administration,” a senior administration official said, adding that the president sees “an opportunity throughout the region and throughout the world, to, to bring more countries into Abraham Accords.”

THIRD ROUND OF HOSTAGE RELEASES BEGINS AS PART OF HAMAS’ GAZA CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT WITH ISRAEL

“It’s going to take time. It’s not going to happen overnight. But that’s certainly on the top of the agenda,” the official said.

In 2018, the Trump administration moved the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem – a relocation long debated in Washington – and one that showed the U.S. officially recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Also during the first Trump administration, the president recognized Israeli sovereignty of the Golan Heights and withdrew the U.S. from the U.N. Human Rights Council.

The meeting between Trump and Netanyahu is the first since July, when Netanyahu visited Trump’s Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.

That meeting came during the Israeli prime minister’s visit to the U.S. During that visit, Netanyahu addressed Congress and met with former President Joe Biden to meet with families of American hostages held hostage by Hamas.

There are currently 79 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, including six dual U.S.-Israeli citizens.

Netanyahu, upon traveling to the U.S., said of Trump: “The fact that this will be his first meeting with a leader of a foreign country since his inauguration holds great significance for the State of Israel.”

“First of all, it indicates the strength of the alliance between Israel and the United States. Secondly, it also reflects the strength of our connection; a connection that has already yielded great things for the State of Israel and the region, and has also brought about the historic peace agreements between Israel and four Arab countries – the ‘Abraham Accords’ that President Trump led,” the prime minister said.

This comes nearly 16 months after the war in Gaza began, prompted by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack against Israel, leading to military retaliation from Israeli forces.

“The decisions we made during the war, combined with the bravery of our IDF soldiers, have already changed the face of the Middle East,” Netanyahu said.

“They have changed it beyond recognition. I believe that with hard work alongside President Trump, we can change it even more for the better,” he said.

Schumer mocked for Corona and guac clip warning Trump tariffs will hurt Super Bowl parties: ‘Not good at this’

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer was criticized for his public response to President Donald Trump threatening a potential trade war with Mexico and Canada.

Just prior to Trump negotiating separate weekslong pauses on major tariffs set to go into effect, Schumer sought to make a kitchen table issue of their potential negative effects ahead of the Super Bowl – which is airing Sunday on FOX.

“It’s going to affect beer, OK,” Schumer said, holding up a tall can of Corona Extra. “Most of it, Corona here, comes from Mexico.”

“It’s going to affect your guac – because what is guacamole made of? Avocados. If you have pizza, it’s going to affect the cost of cheese.”

SCHUMER SUPPORTS DEMS DELAYING ALL TRUMP NOMINEES THAT LACK UNANIMOUS SUPPORT

Schumer, D-N.Y., added that tariffs will mean “higher prices for New Yorkers” and that “everything you were promised during the election is out the window if these tariffs go through.”

Left-leaning comedian Jon Stewart opened his “Daily Show” by lambasting Trump’s initial orders regarding federal email pronouns but also saved some comic invective for Schumer.

“Your response to the trade war is to f—ing tell us guacamole is made of avocados?” Stewart said, adding that Democrats need to stop “trotting Schumer out every time Trump traverses into the unreal – He’s not good at this.”

In a now-deleted Father’s Day post on X, Schumer photographed himself in front of a grill with raw burger patties topped with cheese – with commenters suggesting the Democrat misrepresented his grilling skills in that cheese is added after the burger is cooked.

ELON DUNKS ON SEN. SCHUMER OVER DOGE CRITICISMS

After Schumer’s beer and avocado comments, critics, including conservative pundit Matt Walsh, said the lawmaker’s claim that “most beer” comes from Mexico is false.

“Corona is one of the few exceptions, and it tastes like dishwater. All the good beer is brewed right here in America,” Walsh said as Schumer’s state is home to hundreds of breweries, and the northeast region is also home to top brands Yuengling, Samuel Adams, Tröegs, Natty Boh and Straub.

“Someone want to remind Chuck that Genessee beer is made in Rochester: [In] the state he supposedly represents,” an X critic said.

To that end, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp referenced Schumer’s past cookout faux-pas, posting a selfie with a can of Coors and the caption.

“Senator Schumer may want to stick to politics and leave beer (and cooking burgers) to the rest of us. This [Coors] was brewed in the great state of Georgia, by the way!”

OutKick founder Clay Travis said the clip showed why Democrats “can’t handle the Trump administration so far.”

“[The] Trump team is moving at the speed of business & the Democrats are moving at the speed of government. Watch this Chuck Schumer awkward attack. They’re too slow to react,” Travis said.

Former Trump aide Steve Cortes remarked that Schumer’s remarks had “echoes of Joe Biden’s ‘Despacito’ stunt” – a 2020 incident when Biden spoke at a Hispanic Heritage event in Kissimmee, Florida, with the song’s performer, Luis Fonsi.

Biden told the crowd he had “one thing to say” – and pulled out his phone to play “Despacito,” which came through grainy on the event’s microphone as he bobbed his head with the music.

In another post, Rep. Beth van Duyne, R-Texas, said Trump’s tariff strategy proved the effectiveness of “negotiating from a position of strength” while Schumer is “standing around with a beer in one hand and an avocado in the other, refusing to recognize this as a win.”

Other critics claimed Schumer asserted the products he showcased could not be produced without Mexico.

“We produce enough avocados in California, Florida and Hawaii,” one commenter claimed.

“Who had Chuck Schumer selling Mexican beer on their 2025 bingo card,” another X user wrote.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday the clip proves Democrats remain out of touch with Americans, and that while “Schumer is whining about the cost of a pint of beer, President Trump is talking about saving American lives” from fentanyl.

The U.S. produced nearly 80% of its beer consumed in 2023, according to the National Beer Wholesalers Association. About 20% was imported, chiefly from Mexico, Germany, Holland, Canada, Ireland and Japan. U.S. avocado consumption counts Mexico as its largest share. However, in the 1980s, domestic production contributed to the largest proportion of consumption.

Schumer did not respond to a request for comment.

Trump launching US sovereign wealth fund: What to know

Michael Lee Strategy founder Michael Lee explains President Donald Trumps executive order to create a U.S. sovereign wealth fund on Varney & Co.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday directing his administration to set up a sovereign wealth fund (SWF) for the United States, which the White House says “will help maximize the stewardship of our national wealth.”

The EO directs Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to present a plan within 90 days for the creation of the fund.

So what is a sovereign wealth fund, and how does it work?

Sovereign wealth funds are investment vehicles owned by countries. Most act as an investment account, or as a development tool, or a combination of the two. They are designed to be a nest egg, allowing current money to be deployed in a way that benefits future generations.

VOTERS REJECT TRUMP’S TARIFF PUSH; MOST BELIEVE POLICY WILL HURT ECONOMY

Unlike pension funds where people withdraw money for their own spending needs, SWFs are supposed to invest for the collective good of a nation.

That could mean things like funding construction of an airport or school. But SWFs also often put money into financial products and buying stakes in companies, which can provide financial benefits well into the future and fund government budgets or social programs.

Trump has suggested the U.S. could take a 50% stake in TikTok, for instance, which would be held in America’s forthcoming SWF.

CHINA RESPONDS WITH TARIFFS ON US GOOD AFTER TRUMP’S TARIFFS ON CHINESE IMPORTS TAKE EFFECT

There are over 90 such funds across the world, managing over $8 trillion in assets, according to the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds. The United Kingdom recently announced its own plans to pursue forming an SWF.

In the U.S., 23 states maintain their own funds that control in total $332 billion in assets, according to the White House.

Atlas Tool Works President Zach Mottl praises President Donald Trump’s tariff strategy on ‘Making Money.’

Typically, some or all of a country’s budget surplus is passed to the SWF, which can then use it for new investments.

However, the U.S. has consistently run budget deficits in recent years.

Many funds have been set up by countries with strong commodities export industries, and proceeds from oil, natural gas, metals and minerals sales by state-owned companies are often behind SWFs. Around 60% of funds are funded by revenue from natural resources, according to the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds.

Trump White House renews crucial pledge as left-wing activists sue over border crackdown

A group of left-wing activist groups, led by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), sued the Trump administration on Monday over its efforts to limit the use of asylum at the southern border – leading the Trump White House to renew a crucial pledge.

On day one of his administration, President Donald Trump signed executive orders declaring a national emergency at the border and allowing officials to remove immigrants without allowing them to request asylum, citing an “invasion” at the border.

It was part of a crackdown at the border that included deploying the military and ending parole programs. Fox News Digital reported last week that border numbers in the first seven days in office were down 60% compared to the last week of the Biden administration.

The ACLU and other groups say that the use of the power is unlawful, given U.S. asylum law allows immigrants to apply for asylum, even if they entered the U.S. illegally.

The lawsuit claims that the “unlawful” and “unprecedented” order is doing just what Congress by statute decreed that the United States must not do.

“It is returning asylum seekers—not just single adults, but families too—to countries where they face persecution or torture, without allowing them to invoke the protections Congress has provided. Indeed, the Proclamation does not even exempt unaccompanied children, despite the specific protections such children receive by statute,” it says.

(Photo by MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty Images)

“This is an unprecedented power grab that will put countless lives in danger,” said Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project. “No president has the authority to unilaterally override the protections Congress has afforded those fleeing danger.”

Groups signed onto the lawsuit include the National Immigrant Justice Center, Texas Civil Rights Project, the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies, the ACLU of the District of Columbia and the ACLU of Texas.

TRUMP ADMIN ENDS DEPORTATION PROTECTIONS FOR MASSIVE NUMBER OF VENEZUELANS AMID ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN

The White House indicated in a statement that it has no plans to change course from its current trajectory.

“President Trump was given a resounding mandate to end the disregard and abuse of our immigration laws and secure our borders,” White House spokesperson Kush Desai told Fox News Digital. “The Trump administration will continue to put Americans and America First.”

It is the latest lawsuit by the ACLU against the Trump administration. The ACLU filed a lawsuit last month over Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants and those holding temporary visas.

The lawsuit claimed the order is unconstitutional and against both congressional intent and Supreme Court precedent. The lawsuit was separate to one filed by two dozen states on the same issue. The White House said in response that the lawsuits are “nothing more than an extension of the Left’s resistance – and the Trump administration is ready to face them in court.”

How Trump tariffs could threaten Tyson Foods

Zekelman Industries Chairman and CEO Barry Zekelman breaks down the impact of potential Canada, Mexico tariffs on steel prices.

One of the biggest meat producers in the U.S. is making contingency plans for its pork and chicken products as sweeping tariffs loom over its trading partners.

Tyson CEO Donnie King told analysts on an earnings call Monday that the company, which supplies Canada and Mexico with shipments of pork and certain chicken parts, has been “making adjustments” to its operation ahead of the planned tariffs, which took effect over the weekend but are currently paused.

“In terms of Mexico, the product that we have going in there, the concern, and what we’ve been contingency planning on is pork. We also have chicken – really, a couple of parts of chicken,” King said. The company has a smaller amount of meat going into the Canadian market.

TRUMP TARIFFS PAUSED: WHAT TO KNOW

President Donald Trump paused plans to implement 25% tariffs on both countries for 30 days to give them time to negotiate economic deals aimed at securing U.S. borders and curbing the flow of drugs, like fentanyl, into the country.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – who also paused plans to impose a 25% retaliatory tariff on U.S. imports – said on X that Canada will implement a $1.3 billion border plan and appoint a fentanyl czar. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to supply 10,000 troops on the border separating the U.S. and Mexico.

TJ MAXX CEO SAYS COMPANY COULD BENEFIT FROM TRUMP’S PROPOSED TARIFFS

“Essentially, what we would do, whether it be pork or whether it would be chicken, is we would find other markets,” King said.

The Tyson CEO said the company has already been preparing for this and is making adjustments.

Trump to sign executive order to keep biological men out of women’s sports

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order to keep biological men out of women’s sports, OutKick confirmed on Tuesday.

The executive order will come on National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Wednesday, which celebrates female athletes across women’s sports and those who are committed to providing equal access to sports for all females.

Trump made fairness in women’s sports a major campaign issue on his way to winning the presidential election over former Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

At the beginning of January, a federal judge blocked the Biden administration’s attempt to redefine sex in Title IX as “gender identity.” Then, Trump’s Department of Education told K-12 schools and higher learning institutions that Title IX protections would be recognized on the basis of biological sex.

Trump made clear in December he was going to end the “transgender lunacy.”

“And we will keep men out of women’s sports,” he said in part at a convention in Arizona. “And that will, likewise, be done on Day 1. Should I do Day 1, Day 2 or Day 3? How about Day 1? Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders — male and female. It doesn’t sound too complicated. Does it?”

As he accepted the Republican nomination for president in July, he made his stance clear.

“We will not have men playing in women’s sports, that will end immediately,” he said at the time.

Key Sen. Todd Young comes out in support of Trump DNI nominee Tulsi Gabbard

Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., came out in support of Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Intelligence (DNI), just hours before her crucial committee vote.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, the senator said, “American intelligence officers around the globe deserve our respect and support. I appreciate Tulsi Gabbard’s engagement with me on a variety of issues to ensure that our intelligence professionals will be supported and policymakers will receive unbiased information under her leadership.”

“I have done what the Framers envisioned for senators to do: use the consultative process to seek firm commitments, in this case commitments that will advance our national security, which is my top priority as a former Marine Corps intelligence officer. Having now secured these commitments, I will support Tulsi’s nomination and look forward to working with her to protect our national security,” he added.

Gabbard will need the support of all Republicans on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in order to advance to the floor for a confirmation vote.

That is assuming she does not get the votes of any Democrats. No Democrats on the committee have endorsed her for the role.

Panthers’ Matthew Tkachuck ‘grateful to be an American’ as team celebrates Stanley Cup title with Trump

Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk had a proud American moment at the White House on Monday as he and his team celebrated their Stanley Cup victory with President Donald Trump.

Tkachuk, who was one of six Americans on the championship-winning roster last season, was able to address the president during the celebration.

“Thank you, Mr. President, for having us today. We greatly appreciate it. Being one of the few Americans, who loves this country so much, it’s such an incredible day for myself. You wake up every day really grateful to be an American. So, thank you,” he said.

Tkachuk then told the president about how special the group of men behind him are. Florida appeared in the Stanley Cup Final for the second consecutive time last season and were able to finally get over the hump and win the trophy for the first time in franchise history.

“This team and this group of guys is special,” he added. “Everybody sees what we do on the ice, but I’ve built bonds with these guys that I’ll have for the rest of my life. I’m forever grateful for these guys. We’re forever champs, and I’ll always remember these guys.”

Tkachuk and Aleksander Barkov presented the president with a golden hockey stick and a Panthers sweater that read Trump and No. 47 on the back of it. Trump carried the stick out of the room as he and the team moved to the next event.

The Panthers acquired Tkachuk in a trade with the Calgary Flames before the 2022-23 season, and he has helped elevate Florida ever since.
