Mexico and Canada Reach Last-Minute Deal With Trump to Avert Trade War
Published On Feb 3, 2025, 6:04 PM
President Trump has postponed proposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico, which were slated to be levied after both countries promised to enhance efforts to stop drugs and migration into the U.S. This comes as Trump prepares to impose a 10 percent tariff on China, signaling a potential escalation in trade tensions. The postponement highlights the impact tariffs can have on significant trading partners and may help stabilize the economic situation in the short term. However, ongoing discussions with China suggest that broader trade conflicts remain a concern.
