Slamming India and other nations like China and Canada over high tariffs, Donald Trump said that, “The big one will be on April 2nd when reciprocal tariffs, if India and China or any of the high-tariff charging nation. Canada charges us 250% for our milk products and other products and a tremendous tariff on lumber and things as such. We don't need their lumber. We have more lumber than they do. We don't need Canada's lumber. So what I'm doing is I'll be signing an executive order freeing up our forests so that we're allowed to take down trees and make a lot of money and then re-harvest trees...We don't need trees from Canada. We don't need cars from Canada. We don't need energy from Canada. We don't need anything from Canada...We can be self-sustaining, which is in most things... I'm going to be freeing that up very shortly so that we don't have to go to other countries to buy lumber. You know, why should we be buying lumber from other countries? Paying tariffs, paying big prices, extraordinary prices. And we have lumber. We have the best lumber..."

At least 139 people were killed after a powerful earthquake struck central Mexico, toppling buildings in its populated capital. The Mexico City mayor stated that at least 44 buildings were severely damaged or destroyed in its capital city. The walls of some building sheered off, others just collapsed. Among the damaged were apartment blocks, a school, a factory and a supermarket. Hundreds of volunteers and rescue workers dug through the rubble with picks, shovels and their bare hands. It's the second big quake to hit Mexico this month, striking only hours after many people around the country participated in earthquake drills on the anniversary of the devastating quake that killed thousands in Mexico City in 1985. The powerful 8.1 quake from earlier this month - the strongest to hit the country in 8 decades - left nearly 100 people dead.
