Major tariffs are set to go into effect Tuesday morning after President Trump signed an executive order over the weekend. And it could have a big impact on everything from your gas to your groceries.


Trump says the tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China are necessary to pressure the countries do more to curb fentanyl coming into the U.S.


On Monday morning, President Trump paused tariffs on goods from Mexico as the two countries work out a deal. But 25 percent tariffs are still set to go into effect with Canada, along with a new 10 percent tariff on Chinese goods.
