President Trump <\/a>and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have <\/a>agreed to pause tariffs for at least a month, just hours after Trump decided to delay tariffs on Mexico. The delay on the 25% tariffs\u2014which could have seen tariffs on US $3 billion worth of American-bound lumber spike at 40% \u2014came just hours after Trump and Trudeau’s second conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In making the deal, Trump said Canada agreed to secure the northern border, work to combat the flow of fentanyl into the border, implement its $1.3 billion border plan and take other steps to secure the border: “As President, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of ALL Americans, and I am doing just that. I am very pleased with this initial outcome, and the Tariffs announced on Saturday will be paused for a 30-day period to see whether or not a final Economic deal with Canada can be structured. FAIRNESS FOR ALL!” Trump said\u00a0on Truth Social<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan \u2014 reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl.\u00a0Nearly\u2026<\/p>— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) February 3, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote>
