Tariffs are in play? – Special update on our thoughts

We do not know if the 25% tariffs will be implemented tomorrow or there will be an 11th hour deal to delay them. Mexico has come out and said that a deal is in place to delay the tariffs for a month but so far nothing has been confirmed in Canada and there will be another call at 3 p.m. between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to discuss further.
