United States (US) President Donald Trump hit social media on Thursday, taking to the streets of X (nee Twitter) to inform global markets that his planned 25% tariff package aimed at Mexico and Canada will now be coming into effect on March 4, rather than the April 2 date he reaffirmed just hours earlier. President Trump also informed markets that he plans to impose an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods on that date.

At the same time, White House officials primed the pump on additional “reciprocal tariff” packages that are also in the pipeline aimed at a wide swath of countries, which will likely expand to include the UK and the European Union in general. More statements from President Trump are expected throughout the day.
