1. Trump: Nothing Canada, Mexico or China can do to delay Feb 1 tariffs.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he would impose hefty new tariffs of 25% on goods from Mexico and Canada and 10% on imports from China, and nothing could be done by the three countries to forestall them.
Trump did, however, reference a potential carve out for oil from Canada, saying that rate would be 10% versus the 25% planned for other goods from the United States' northern neighbor. But he indicated wider tariffs on oil and natural gas would be coming in mid-February, remarks that sent oil prices higher.

President Donald Trump stated that the US will "absolutely" impose tariffs on the European Union.
"Am I going to impose tariffs on the European Union? Do you want the truthful answer, or should I give you a political answer? Absolutely, absolutely," Trump answered in response to a question about whether he would impose the tariffs.
