Trump reiterated Thursday that tariffs are coming, even as his advisers are considering several offramps to avoid enacting universal tariffs on Mexico and Canada, people familiar with the matter say.

US President Donald Trump has said he will follow through with his threat to hit imports from Canada and Mexico with 25% border taxes, known as tariffs, on 1 February. But he added that a decision about whether this would include oil from those countries has not yet been made.

President Donald Trump says his 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are coming on Saturday. Trump also said he'll "probably” decide on Thursday night whether to include oil from those countries as part of his import taxes.
