WHAT HAPPENED
US President Donald Trump has paused tariffs on Canadian imports, while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said further work is needed for a durable agreement. The delay is providing relief to some Canadian businesses but does not resolve the underlying trade dispute.
SO WHAT?
The tariff dispute could affect cross-border trade and businesses in both countries if negotiations fail or restrictions are reinstated.
