President Donald Trump is expected to impose tariffs on a bunch of U.S. trading partners on Wednesday as part of his "liberation day" event.

The White House on Tuesday said the president would reveal even broader tariffs than he has already indicated during an event on Wednesday afternoon in the White House Rose Garden. He has already teased tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico. 

The president first announced tariffs on the three countries earlier this year, but delayed imposing them until April 2. 

Here is a list of the tariffs that are currently expected to take effect on Wednesday:

Auto imports: The president is expected to impose 25% tariffs on all auto imports coming into the United States. But countries that relocate plants to the U.S. or build their cars in the U.S. will be exempted. 

Venezuela oil: Trump threatened to impose secondary tariffs of 25% on countries that import oil and gas from Venezuela and trade with the United States, as he seeks to add pressure on the South American country over its response to the U.S. immigration crisis.

Canada and Mexico: The president is expected to impose his 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, which were delayed as part of a United States-Mexico-Canada agreement. The tariffs are in response to the illegal drug crisis happening in the U.S. which sneaks into the U.S. from both countries. 

China: Trump is expected to impose a 10%-20% tariff on Chinese imports over the fentanyl and illegal drug crisis.

The tariffs will take effect immediately.
