Trump Pausing Tariffs on Mexico, Canada as Both Pledge to Boost Border Enforcement
President Donald Trump on Monday held off on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada for 30 days after the two U.S. neighbors agreed to boost border security efforts.
In a blast on Truth Social early Monday evening, Trump celebrated news of progress in talks with Canada to head off -- at least for now -- the threat of tariffs and an escalating trade war.
"Canada has agreed to ensure we have a secure Northern Border, and to finally end the deadly scourge of drugs like Fentanyl that have been pouring into our Country, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, while destroying their families and communities all across our Country," Trump posted.
