The White House said on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump still plans to issue 25 per cent tariffs on Canada and Mexico on Saturday.

"Crude prices keep dancing to the rhythm of Trump's tariff orchestra, with Canada tariffs going into effect on Saturday potentially lifting US prices then," said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank.
