President Trump announced he is delaying a planned 50% tariff on $20 billion worth of Canadian imports after reaching a last-minute deal with Canada. The tariffs, set to go into effect less than two hours prior, will be paused, according to statements from the White House. The agreement followed what were described as ‘intense’ talks with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. While Trump framed the outcome as a deal, Carney offered a less definitive assessment, stating that ‘important work’ remained. No right-leaning sources reported on this story. The pause on tariffs is currently for three days, as the two sides finalize documents to avert the import taxes on a range of Canadian goods.
Financial Times reported the last-minute reprieve followed the intense talks. The Washington Times reported the delay applied to $20 billion in imports. NPR and the New York Times both reported the delay came less than two hours before the tariffs were set to take effect. The BBC World Service noted the pause was for three days, while the two sides finalized documents.
