Trump Agrees to 30-day Pause on Canada Tariffs

President Donald Trump has agreed to pause new tariffs on Canadian goods for at least 30 days after a call with him and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday.
 
In order to pause Trump’s tariff order, Canada agreed to take a number of steps towards addressing US border security and drug trafficking concerns. These steps were outlined in a post from Trudeau on X.
 
Earlier today, Trump reached an agreement with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to delay threatened tariffs on Mexico for a month while the two sides work on fentanyl and migration issues that had motivated the U.S. president to take action on Saturday.
