Mexico, Canada and others may be exempted from US tariffs 5 SHARES Share it! Peter Navarro, Trump’s trade and manufacturing adviser, said in an interview on Fox Business that the tariffs would go into effect within about 15 to 30 days and the proclamation the president intends to sign would include a clause that would not immediately impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico. At the White House, officials were working to include language in the tariffs that would give Trump the flexibility to approve exemptions for certain countries. He has tried to use the tariffs as leverage in ongoing talks to revise the North American Free Trade Agreement, suggesting Canada and Mexico might be exempted from tariffs if they offer more favorable terms under NAFTA.
