NEW YORK — Cartel leaders Rafael Caro Quintero and Vicente Carrillo Fuentes are set to be arraigned in a U.S. federal court in New York City on Friday, following their surprise transfer from Mexico. The pair were among 29 Mexican prisoners sent Thursday to eight cities across the U.S.

Mexico has sent drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, who killed a DEA agent 40 years ago, to the United States along with 28 other prisoners requested by the U.S. government.

As traders worldwide wait to see if U.S. President Donald Trump once again holds off on putting new tariffs on Canada and Mexico, the head of the U.S. Treasury Department has highlighted one potentially promising avenue for America’s neighbors.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said his proposed 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods will take effect on Tuesday, along with an extra 10% duty on Chinese imports because deadly drugs are still pouring into the U.

President Donald Trump said 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are on track to go into place on March 4, and said he would impose an additional 10% tax on Chinese imports, moves that would deepen his fight with the largest US trading partners.
