U.S. President Donald Trump suspended at the last moment 50% tariffs on Canadian goods worth about $20 billion, granting a three-day window to finalize a deal between Washington and Ottawa. According to reports in the Wall Street Journal, CBS, and AP, Trump wrote on his social network "Truth Social" that the U.S. and Canada, pending the completion of document drafting, reached an agreement, but refrained from revealing its details. The tariffs were set to apply to goods constituting about five percent of Canada's annual exports to the U.S., including electronics, plastics, building materials, medical swabs, and hockey sticks. The previous tariff announcement threatened to escalate relations into a full-scale trade war, and the White House accused Canada of "unreasonable, unfair, and discriminatory actions." The Trump administration already imposes a 10% tariff on Canadian goods, though most imports are exempt under the USMCA agreement.
