U.S. President Donald Trump announced late Tuesday he will pause the implementation of 50 per cent tariffs on a range of Canadian goods for three days, posting the decision less than two hours before the crushing levies were set to take effect.
In an initial online post, the president said he delayed the levies "based on the fact that Canada and the U.S.A., subject to the finalization of documents, have a DEAL!"
A White House declaration later said the suspension is "in the public interest" because Canadian negotiators "expressed a commitment" to concede on trade grievances the Trump administration had cited as the reason for threatening the tariffs in the first place.
