President Donald Trump said late Tuesday that he is pausing 50% tariffs on Canadian goods scheduled to take effect Wednesday, saying the two countries have reached a deal pending final documentation.<\/p>\n

“I have paused the 50% Tariffs against Canada, that were scheduled to kick in tomorrow morning for a three day period, based on the fact that Canada and the U.S.A., subject to the finalization of documents, have a DEAL!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

“The great Keystone XL Pipeline, long ago killed by Sleepy Joe Biden, may be awoken from the grave!” Trump added.<\/p>\n

Trump’s announcement came just hours before the tariffs were scheduled to take effect for a three-day period under the Tariff Act of 1930.<\/p>\n

The duties would have covered roughly $20 billion in Canadian imports, including liquor, dairy products, vehicles, hockey equipment and other goods. Certain food products, wearables, synthetic materials and industrial goods were also expected to be affected.<\/p>\n

Trump spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday night and reportedly spoke with him again Tuesday afternoon, according to FOX Business correspondent Edward Lawrence.<\/p>\n

FOX Business reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration announced the proposed tariffs on certain Canadian imports in June, citing what officials described as trade “discrimination” against American businesses.<\/p>\n

According to presidential proclamations, Canada has maintained a 25% tariff regime since April 9, 2025, targeting American-made motor vehicles and parts.<\/p>\n

The administration previously accused Canada of using a quota system that limits the number of U.S.-made vehicles allowed into the country tariff-free.<\/p>\n

Officials said the system further penalizes companies that shift manufacturing jobs from Canada back to the U.S., effectively pressuring American companies to keep production north of the border.<\/p>\n

Carney condemned the Trump administration’s tariff plan at the time, calling it a “direct violation” of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), the free trade agreement among the three countries.<\/p>\n
