President Donald Trump has decided to hold off on implementing new tariffs on Canadian imports for a minimum of 30 days, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday following a phone conversation with the U.S. president.
“I just had a productive call with President Trump,” Trudeau shared on the social media platform X. “The proposed tariffs will be on pause for at least 30 days as we collaborate on solutions.”
Earlier in the day, President Trump also came to an arrangement with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to postpone planned tariffs on Mexico for one month. The delay provides time for discussions on key issues, including the fentanyl crisis and migration concerns, which had prompted Trump’s initial decision to impose the tariffs on Saturday.
