The White House said on Friday that the new tariffs on Canada and Mexico will take effect on Feb. 1, denying a Reuters report that they would be delayed until March 1.
So did the tariffs take effect or not? Or are they supposed to be announced closer to the end of the day US time?
Many past presidents have said implementing policy is far harder than declaring it. There’s a big delay, and big gap.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re dysfunctional for a while, and that tariffs don’t take effect when he says they do.
This would honestly be very Trump, as he can just jawbone his base into believing they’re reality as he often did in the business world, before politics.

As of 11:46am ET, they have not taken effect. I am NOT sure if Trump administration knows how to implement what they want to do LOL.
I DECLARE TARIFFS
You didn’t say HEREBY!
