Trudeau caves: Tariffs on Canadian goods on hold for a month, Trump says

10

Hours after Mexico met President Donald Trump’s terms for helping to secure the southern border, the 25% tariffs that were go go into effect on Canadian goods have been postponed after a few conversations were held with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday. Canada agreed to fight the fentanyl trade and crack down on organized crime in partnership with the United States.

“Canada has agreed to ensure we have a secure Northern Border, and to finally end the deadly scourge of drugs like Fentanyl that have been pouring into our Country, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, while destroying their families and communities all across our Country,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social page.

“Canada will implement their $1.3 Billion Border plan, and as per Prime Minister Trudeau, will be, “reinforcing the Border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are, and will be, working on protecting the Border. In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the Border, launch a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl, and we will be backing it with $200 million,” Trump wrote. “As President, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of ALL Americans, and I am doing just that. I am very pleased with this initial outcome, and the Tariffs announced on Saturday will be paused for a 30 day period to see whether or not a final Economic deal with Canada can be structured. FAIRNESS FOR ALL!”

  1. That border plan sounds familiar. Oh wait, same border plan Canada announced on their website back in December. Sounds more like Trump caved.

    • Please read what was written about the previously announced plan and then the part that say “In addition,”. The “In addition,” means what follows is new and was not a part of the previously announced plan.

      As Trudeau said “In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the Border, launch a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl, and we will be backing it with $200 million,”

      Reading is fundamental.
