U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a one-month reprieve on some of the tariffs he imposed on Canada and Mexico just two days ago. The extension to April 2 will extend to goods covered by the USMCA trade deal, the White House said Thursday.
Trump made the executive actions following negotiations between his administration and the Trudeau government Thursday.
Earlier Thursday, Trump spoke about a deferral he was granting for Mexico, then later followed suit on the Canadian tariffs too.
“Our relationship has been a very good one, and we are working hard, together, on the Border, both in terms of stopping Illegal Aliens from entering the United States and, likewise, stopping Fentanyl,” Trump wrote about his Mexican counterpart, President Claudia Sheinbaum.” Thank you to President Sheinbaum for your hard work and cooperation!”
Trump also accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of “using the Tariff problem, which he has largely caused, in order to run again for Prime Minister.”
Trump initially announced the reprieve for only Mexico but not Canada before eventually granting one for Canada, too.
