Canadian PM Trudeau: US tariffs on Canada to be delayed 30 days

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced late Monday that a tit-for-tat spat of trade tariffs between the US and Canada would be suspended for 30 days as the two countries agree to meet at the negotiating table. This follows a similar deal between the US and Mexico where a similar tariff was imposed in an effort to bully both Mexico and Canada to the table in order for US President Donald Trump to renegotiate his own renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which was rebranded the USMCA trade deal after Donald Trump forced a renegotiation of the trilateral trade agreement during his first term.

Key highlights
