Trump says he's brokered a 'very good deal' with Canada after pausing 50% tariffs
Talks also include possible cuts to U.S. auto tariffs and relief for farmers, while the threatened duties covered about $20 billion in imports, officials said.
- Late Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced a three-day pause on 50 percent tariffs against Canada following a 'good conversation' with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
- The threatened 50 percent tariffs would have covered about $20bn worth of imports, exacerbating trade pressure between the US and Canada.
- On Monday, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussed reducing Section 232 vehicle tariffs from 25 percent to 15 percent with Canadian counterparts.
- Trump claimed the nations reached 'a very fair' deal ensuring no tariffs on US exports, though officials have not confirmed full agreement details.
- Nearly 72 percent of Canadian goods exports go to the US, making the three-day window critical for finalizing documents before tariffs take effect.
