The White House said the United States will move forward in plans to strike Canada, Mexico and China with new definitions, which increased the risk of trade war.
White House journalist Caroline Levitte told reporters on Friday that Washington will strike Canada and Mexico by 25 percent of the customs tariff and China by 10 percent of the fees.
“On the deadline that President Trump put in a statement several weeks ago,” Levitte said.
Comments come after Friday reports that the definitions of Donald Trump can be delayed for a month.
Levitte said that such reports were “wrong,” adding, “These promises were made and the promises kept by the president.”
The US dollar index, which had gained its gains to zero after the initial reports on the deadline on March 1, was recovered by 0.5 percent a day. The Mexican and Canadian dollar bizo decreased to negative lands, erasing previous gains.
