Trump pauses 50% tariffs on goods from Canada, says two sides have a deal

Trump said the pause will give negotiators three days to finalize a deal that would cover about $20 billion in Canadian imports, officials said.

  • President Donald Trump announced a three-day delay of planned 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian imports after the two countries reached a last-minute deal just hours before the tariffs were due to take effect.
  • The deal includes Canada's commitment to address U.S. concerns on duties related to dairy products, alcoholic beverages, and motor vehicles, with further negotiations ongoing.
  • Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said substantial progress had been made but important work remains.
  • The tariffs would have affected a wide range of Canadian products and risked escalating trade tensions, but their delay avoided immediate strain on the U.S.-Canada relationship and allowed for continued trade discussions.
