Trump Pauses Tariffs on Canada and Mexico While Threatening Annexation
The U.S. president temporarily halts a 25% tariff plan after border security promises, but continues to push controversial rhetoric on territorial expansion.
- President Trump announced a 30-day suspension of 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports following border security commitments from both nations.
- Canada pledged $1.3 billion for border enhancements, including new personnel and technology, and plans to designate a 'fentanyl czar.'
- Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of annexing Canada, citing it as a legacy project, and has linked tariffs to national security concerns over drugs and migration.
- China responded to U.S. tariffs with retaliatory measures, escalating trade tensions between the two nations.
- Experts and critics warn that the tariff threats risk significant economic disruption and strain diplomatic relations with key U.S. allies.
