President Donald Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt, making her debut in the White House press room, confirmed Tuesday the administration still plans to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada on Feb. 1, a move that could upend North American trade relationships.
Leavitt, who is the youngest White House press secretary at 27-years-old, told reporters that she spoke with the president Monday night and he indicated Feb. 1 was "still on the books" for imposing tariffs on both of its neighboring countries.
