The tariff dispute between Canada and the US has been delayed for at least 30 days. PM Justin Trudeau assured former US President Donald Trump that Canada is enacting a $1.3 billion border security plan. This includes deploying helicopters, advanced technology, and additional personnel to combat illegal human trafficking and drug smuggling.
As part of the agreement, Canada will appoint a special fentanyl czar and designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations. PM Trudeau also announced that the border will be monitored 24/7, and a joint strike force between Canada and the US will target organized crime, fentanyl trafficking, and money laundering.
A 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico was set to take effect today (Tuesday), with both nations prepared to impose retaliatory measures. However, Trump postponed the tariffs for a month after reaching separate agreements with the Mexican President and PM Trudeau.
