Trump Delays 50 Pc Tariffs On Canadian Imports After Last-Minute Deal

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he was delaying the 50 per cent US tariffs on USD 20 billion worth of Canadian imports after the two countries reached a last-minute deal less than two hours before the sanctions were to go into effect. 

The announcement, which Trump made on his social media platform, buys time for more negotiations



and avoids, for now, another strain in already tense relations between the historic allies.

"I have paused the 50 per cent tariffs against Canada, that were scheduled to kick in tomorrow morning for a three day period, based on the fact that Canada and the USA, subject to the finalisation of documents, have a DEAL!" Trump posted on Truth Social.
