Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Canada and Mexico are expected to step up efforts this week to avoid 25% tariffs on their exports to the US by persuading President Donald Trump\u2019s administration that their steps to increase border security and curb fentanyl trafficking are working ahead of a March 4 deadline.<\/p>\n

Both countries have taken steps to beef up border security, which bought them about a month\u2019s reprieve from tariffs that could wreak havoc on a highly integrated North American economy.<\/p>\n

A lawyer specializing in US-Canada trade matters, Dan Ujczo, said the negotiations this week, along with new reports from the Department of Homeland Security, will help determine whether the Trump administration extends the tariff suspension for longer.<\/p>\n

According to him, even if that happens, Trump will likely maintain the tariff threat at least until there\u2019s clear evidence that the border measures are halting migrant and fentanyl flows.<\/p>\n

The White House, the US Trade Representative\u2019s office, and the Commerce Department have not yet commented on the negotiations expected this week ahead of the March 4 deadline to implement the tariffs, which would apply to over $918 billion worth of US imports from the two countries\u2014from autos to energy.<\/p>\n
