Trump delays 50 per cent tariffs on Canada for three days

Canada has temporarily dodged 50 per cent tariffs on roughly $28-billion worth of goods after U.S. President Donald Trump announced late Tuesday he would delay the levies for three days.

The new wave of tariffs was set to hit Canada just after midnight and would have hit goods ranging from honey and hockey sticks to wine and cement.

Trump’s announcement on social media late Tuesday said the pause was due to both countries having reached a deal, “subject to the finalization of documents.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney, in response, said in his own statement that substantial progress regarding trade has been made and there remains important work to do.
