Summary

Trump temporarily delayed tariffs on many imports from Mexico and Canada, reversing his earlier decision to impose 25% duties.

Following talks with Mexico’s President Sheinbaum, he exempted USMCA-compliant Mexican goods, later extending the relief to Canada until April 2.

Despite market turmoil and business concerns over price hikes, Trump insisted the delay was unrelated to economic turbulence.

The move follows previous delays and exemptions for automakers. Critics warn his aggressive tariff strategy risks harming businesses and consumers while aiming to secure economic concessions from trade partners.

    Canada should keep any tariffs/boycotts they’ve already established in place. Trump’s tariffs have been flipping on/off as if they’re light switches.

      Looks like we are. Fucker wants to flip/flop every 2 hours - go for it. We’re going to show how leadership works and what stability looks like. He wants to start acting like an adult we can create a new trade agreement, but it will never be e as open as it once was and we will continue to divest from a US centric trade arrangement.

    Floundering just to look like a weak leader, an imbecile, and succeeded in nothing but dropping the stock market and raising prices artificially. Those are your new prices too. Good job dipshit.
