U.S. President Donald Trump has paused tariffs on Canada after reaching a tentative agreement with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The decision follows discussions on border security and drug enforcement.
"Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together," Trudeau announced, with Trump later confirming the deal.
Over the weekend, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, along with a 10% tariff on Chinese goods. However, Canadian oil received a reduced 10% tariff. Earlier Monday, Trump also paused tariffs on Mexico for 30 days after the country agreed to deploy more troops to its southern border.
As part of the agreement, Canada will strengthen border security, deploying 10,000 frontline personnel to the U.S.-Canada border. Additionally, Trudeau committed to appointing a Fentanyl Czar to combat the opioid crisis. Canada is implementing a $1.3 billion border security plan, which includes helicopters, advanced technology, and increased coordination with U.S. officials to prevent drug smuggling.
"I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is reinforcing our border with new choppers, technology, and personnel," Trudeau stated on X. "Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working to protect the border."
Trump praised the agreement, emphasizing the importance of securing the Northern Border and stopping fentanyl from entering the U.S. "Canada has agreed to take action to end the deadly flow of fentanyl into our country," Trump said. "I am pleased with this outcome, and tariffs will be paused for 30 days as we work on a final economic deal with Canada."
The temporary pause in tariffs signals ongoing negotiations between the two countries as they seek to address trade and security concerns.
