US President Donald Trump has confirmed the tariffs for Canada will be paused for 30 days after Ottawa agreed to stricter border measures to "finally end the deadly scourge of drugs like Fentanyl."
Trump made the declaration on his Truth Social platform shortly after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the tariffs would be postponed, DW reports.
"As President, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of ALL Americans, and I am doing just that," Trump said. "I am very pleased with this initial outcome, and the Tariffs announced on Saturday will be paused for a 30 day period."
In a separate statement on Monday, Trump also confirmed that he would delay the implementation of tariffs against Mexico after he spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
