The U.S. has reached agreements with Canada and Mexico to delay the implementation of 25% tariffs for at least 30 days, averting immediate economic strain.
Trump initially signed tariff orders Saturday—25% on Canada and Mexico (10% on energy) and 10% on China—set to take effect early Tuesday. However, after negotiations, he agreed to the pause following concessions from both countries on border security and fentanyl control.
Canada committed to securing its northern border, implementing a $1.3 billion border plan, appointing a “Fentanyl Czar,” and increasing surveillance. Similarly, Mexico pledged to deploy 10,000 soldiers to curb fentanyl and illegal immigration at the U.S. border.
China’s tariffs remain unaddressed, with its Ministry of Commerce planning to challenge them at the WTO. Meanwhile, Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre criticized Trump’s tariffs as “unjust” and called for a reciprocal response.
