Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a 30-day pause on proposed tariffs between the U.S. and Canada, following a conversation with President Donald Trump. Trudeau outlined Canada’s $1.3 billion border plan, which includes reinforcing the border with new technology and personnel, increased resources to combat the flow of fentanyl, and the appointment of a Fentanyl Czar. Additionally, Canada will list cartels as terrorists, launch a joint strike force with the U.S. to combat organized crime, fentanyl, and money laundering, and allocate $200 million to support these initiatives.
President Trump also announced a pause on tariffs with Mexico after speaking with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. Mexico has agreed to immediately supply 10,000 soldiers to the border, and both countries have committed to working together to prevent the flow of high-powered weapons and illegal immigration. Discussions between the two countries will continue, involving high-level representatives from both sides.
While the 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports were set to go into effect, the 10% tariffs on goods from China are still scheduled to be implemented. The decision to pause tariffs reflects a commitment to negotiation and cooperation between the involved countries to address issues like illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and organized crime. President Trump emphasized the importance of saving American lives through these measures.
