Tariffs on Mexico and Canada Paused for One Month Under New Trade Deal Agreement

The US President, Donald Trump, has agreed to pause the imposition of 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, which were set to take effect on Tuesday. This decision was made after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to bolster border enforcement efforts, including deploying 10,000 troops to the border in the case of Mexico and implementing new technology and personnel along the border in the case of Canada. The pause is set to last for 30 days, during which time the countries will work together to prevent drug trafficking and organized crime.
