The US President says that imports from tariffs may be excluded or not.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to impose 25 % tariffs on Canada and Mexico from Saturday, and has opened the possibility of being exempted from importing oil.
Talking to the White House reporter on Thursday, Trump said that he might eliminate the oil from tariffs or not, and that it would probably not be tonight.
“I’m probably going to do my determination tonight with oil,” Trump said in an elliptical office.
“Because they send oil to us, it depends on what their price is.”
Mr. Trump said that the United States could make up for the “very quickly” decrease in imports.
“I don’t need the products they have. We have all the oil you need,” he said.
According to the US Energy Information Bureau, Canada alone supplies more than half of the U.S. crude oil imports, and Mexico accounts for 11 %.
Canada and Mexico have promised to respond to US tariffs, trying to guarantee that Washington is promising to be concerned about border security concerns.
Trump first announced a plan to impose tariffs immediately after the election in November, and has taken measures to respond to the flow of immigrants and illegal drugs that are not written across borders.
Trump came on February 1 as a tariff start date immediately after taking office on January 20.

Mr. Trump said on Thursday that Fentanyl “we are causing hundreds of thousands of death” and “thinking about doing something in relation to China.”
“So China will pay tariffs for that, and we are in the process of doing it,” he said.
Beijing warns the return to protectionism and sought a solution to “winning” for trade -related differences.
