Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday said that US President Donald Trump has agreed to a 30-day pause on tariff threats against Canada after the former’s administration took steps to address Trump’s concerns about border security and Fentanyl trafficking during talks between the two.

This follows a similar pause on US tariffs on Mexican goods, according to Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum after holding talks. Mexico also agreed to reinforce security along its border with the United States to fight drug trafficking, Sheinbaum announced.
