President Donald Trump said Monday that tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada would go into effect tomorrow, ending a month-long delay that saw both U.S. neighbors scramble unsuccessfully to head off the punishing trade action and sending stock prices into a swift decline.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down around 1.5 percent. The broader S&P 500 index fell nearly 2 percent. Both market measures are now in the red since Trump’s election win.
