Tariffs Paused as US-Canada Talks Edge Toward a Last-Minute Deal

President Trump says he’s paused the 50% tariffs on Canadian goods for three days as talks continue toward a last-minute deal, with a separate post from the USTR hinting at concessions like market access for US goods but offering few specifics. Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed progress. The tariffs were set to take effect soon under a 1930 Tariff Act provision, and officials say only a small share of Canadian exports would be affected, while the broader USMCA renegotiations and trade policy remain in flux.
