President Donald Trump has postponed the imposition of 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico, pushing the new deadline to April 2. This decision follows his previous announcement that the tariffs would take effect on March 4.
The president made this statement during his first cabinet meeting on Wednesday in Washington.
In recent weeks, Canadian leaders, including officials and premiers, have been visiting Washington in efforts to understand what would be required to prevent the tariffs from being implemented.
However, it remains unclear what Trump’s specific demands are, as he continues to express dissatisfaction with trade and has suggested that Canada should join the United States.
