Trump pauses 50% tariffs on goods from Canada, says two sides have a deal
- President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the U.S. will postpone a 50% tariff on approximately $20 billion worth of Canadian imports by three days.
- Canada had threatened to retaliate against new tariffs with levies of its own, aggravating a trade fight between countries that exchanged $880 billion in goods and services last year.
- Trump stated the two countries reached a deal aiming to resume construction of the controversial Keystone pipeline project, though neither released details on cooling Canada's animosity.
- Still hanging in the balance is a sweeping free trade agreement between the U.S. and its two largest trading partners: Canada and Mexico, amid ongoing trade uncertainty.
- This uncertainty could discourage businesses from investing in North America, as Trump has a history of changing his stance on trade matters regarding the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
