President Donald Trump is set to meet with officials from Mexico and Canada to discuss tariffs amid trade tensions. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick suggested that both sides are open to finding a middle ground, stating, "He’s going to figure out, ‘You do more, and I’ll meet you in the middle some way'."
Canada has imposed tariffs on U.S. products exceeding $100 billion in response to U.S. tariffs. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau criticized the actions, saying, "There is no justification for these actions."
Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum announced retaliatory tariffs beginning on March 9, emphasizing the potential harm to U.S. citizens and businesses. Lutnick hinted that Trump might unveil a tariff compromise with both countries today, as they work towards progress.
