Trump to pause promised tariffs 30 days after talking to Trudeauu
US President Donald Trump rejected his plan to collect tariffs to Canada at least 30 days after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau conveyed a number of obligations to improve the border security.
This means that in a trade war there is a break of fire that had the potential to inflict great economic pain to workers and companies on both sides of the border.
The country can release a collective sigh of relief – at least for now. Trump signaled that he had not yet ended up with Canada, saying that today he is still looking for a kind of “final economic agreement” with the country below.
In order to make Trump put off his punishment tariffs, Trudeau told him that Canada was progressing A $ 1.3 billion border plan safety plan These include strengthening 49. Parallels with new helicopters, technology and staff and coordination with US officials to break Trump’s priorities: illegal drugs and migrants.
Trudeau said, everything will be said, there will be 10,000 fronts of the front that work along the border as part of the pressure to make it safer.
The Prime Minister also made a number of new obligations to Trump, including the promise that he would appoint a new “Car” Fentanil. And he promised to list Mexican cartels, one of the best suppliers of fental and other drugs in Canada and the US, as terrorists under Canadian law.
Trudeau said Canada is running a “Canadian common strike, which will be in charge of combating organized crime and money laundering, he has inserted $ 200 million of funding to take it off the field.
“The proposed tariffs will be stopped for at least 30 days while working together,” Trudeau said in a post on social media after completing his 45-minute call-second in his day with Trump.
Trump said in his own post on social networks that he was “very pleased” by Canada has a plan to secure the northern border. But Trump only called it a “initial outcome.”
“Tariffs announced on Saturday will be paused for a 30-day period to see if a final economic contract with Canada can be structured,” he said.
Data from the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) show an agency 19.5 pounds seized From the fental on the northern border last year, compared to 9,570 pounds in the southwest.
But this did not prevent Trump from demanding a Canada to take over the firm on drugs, which is the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, according to US National Health Statistics Center.
Even before today’s offer for the appointment of “emperor” and spending more money for the police border, the federal liberal government showed a willingness to get rid of the issue to alleviate Trump’s concern.
“Less than one percent of fental seizures in the United States is being followed to Canada – that’s one percent too much,” Finance Minister Dominic Leblanc said in an interview with CBC News on Sunday.
“We have exactly the same views as the US government in terms of the importance of this. We are not a significant source of challenge, but we want to be a large part of a common solution. We are ready to reinforce and do more,” he said.
In an interview with journalists in the oval office after the first of two calls with Trudeau on Monday, Trump said that Canada is “very difficult” and “Canada is not treated well and that we need to do well.”
He claimed that Canada “mostly does not take our agricultural products.” This is an unusual statement because now is the biggest Canadian partner for agriculture, according to to dAta from Trump’s Governmentwhich represents about 57 percent of Canadian food imports.
The President said for weeks that he would like Canada to join the United States as 51. This is the line he repeated on Monday, saying he would “like to see” Canada to join the union. But he seemed to admit that he would “be long”, saying that some unnamed people “do not have a threshold for pain.”
Trump has reached a contract with Mexican President Claudija Sheinbaum earlier on Monday to “pause” the tariffs that he threatened to impose that country.
Sheinbaum said in a post on social networks that she had a “good conversation” with the president after agreeing to schedule 10,000 hulls of Mexican National Guard to the US border.
After the news of Sheinbaum’s Agreement, some conservative politicians in Canada invited the Federal Government to distribute the army to the border of Canada-US, which was almost entirely Demilitarized after the war of 1812 More than 200 years ago.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre asked TRUDEAUA to “send troops, helicopters and Canadian surveillance and monitor the border” to try to save Kanade-US trade relationship and solve Trump’s concerns about drugs and migrants.
He also called for employment “at least” 2000 more agents of the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) to strengthen the Agency for the Implementation of the Law responsible for border control.
Prime Minister Saskatchewana Scott Moe also asked the Federal Government to put a CBS under the military command to “deal with the relations that President Trump launched.”
Ottawa of $ 2.6 billion spends it every year at CBSA could then be renewed as military consumption, helping that the Earth Cipi in its obligation NATO to spend two percent of its GDP on defense, Moe said. Trump has repeatedly criticized Canadian cost for low defense.
New Focus: Banking
In a post on social media after his first call with Trudeau ended up earlier on Monday, Trump punished Canada for not allowing US banks to “open or operate there”.
Until that moment, Trump framed the endangered tariffs as a way to reciprocate Canada because of the permanent trade deficit and allegedly inactivity on drugs and migrants crossing the northern border to the United States – his obvious concern for banking righteousness are new development.
Numerous US banks operate in Canada with a large borrowing and commercial and investment banking Operations, among other functions, on this side 49 parallels.
There are 16 branches in Canada in Canada with headquarters in the US, and the property has about $ 113 billion, according to the Canadian Banker Association.
Personal banking in Canada is mostly a domain of Canadian banks, due to strict federal regulations intended for protection against failure in banks. According to government data, the Great Canadian Bank Keep more than 93 percent of all domestic banking assets. Canadian banks are routinely ranked among The safest in the world.
Last night, Trump also raised a Canadian banking system with reporters after landing back to DC after a weekend at Florida.
“Canada has been very abused by the United States for many years. They don’t allow our banks. Did you know that? Canada doesn’t let the banks go in. If you think, that’s pretty incredible,” he said.
Trump has launched the first salvo in this trade dispute when he announced on Saturday that he would slap 25 percent of tariffs on almost all Canadian goods with a lower rate – 10 percent – for energy products in the country.
Trump said he was fulfilling the promise of the campaign that he would ask for retribution from countries he claims to have “ripped off” now
Trump is focused on the Canadian-American trade deficit, which is largely guided by American demand for cheaper Canadian oil. When the export of oil is excluded, Americans actually have a trade surplus with Canada, according to the Canadian government.
In an interview with Canadians late on Saturday night after Trump posted details about his tariff threat, Trudeau said, after more than a century of friendship and collaboration through world wars and natural disasters and a whole series of joint challenges, Canada does not want a conflict with the USA
“We don’t want to be here, we didn’t ask for it, but we won’t retire,” he said. “We will not retreat to the uprising for both Canadians and the incredible, successful relationship and partnership between Canada and the United States.”
