U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods and Canadian retaliation on U.S. goods were suspended for 30 days

After weeks of threats from Donald Trump, the U.S. President and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau found common ground on Monday during an afternoon phone call.

The imposition of U.S. tariffs on Canadian good and of Canadian retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods which were set to begin on Tuesday were put off for 30 days.

Trump agreed to the delay after Trudeau said he would expand Canada’s existing $1.3-billion border protection plan. Canada will also list cartels as terrorists, launch a new cross-border task force, release $200 million more to fight drug trafficking, and appoint a fentanyl “czar”.
