BREAKING: U.S. tariffs on Canada will be paused for 30 days, Trudeau says

Feb 3, 2025 | 4:04 PM

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the U.S. has agreed to pause tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days after he spoke with President Donald Trump this afternoon.

Trudeau says in a social media post that Canada is implementing its $1.3-billion plan to strengthen the border and appointing a “fentanyl czar.”

Canada also plans to launch a joint strike force with the U.S. to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering.

Trudeau says the pause will last at least a month “while we work together.”
