Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made similar concessions: Canada strengthens the border with new helicopters, technology and staff and intensifies coordination with American officials to stop the smuggling of the fatal drug fentanyl. Canada will also appoint a fentanyl representative to coordinate the fight against drug trafficking. Mexican cartels, which are considered the main suppliers of the drugs, wants to legally classify Canada as terrorist organizations. After all, according to Trudeau, Canada and the United States want to build up a common intervention group to combat money laundering.
Trump commented on the result on Truthsocial as follows: “I am very satisfied with this first result, and the tariffs announced on Saturday are suspended for a period of 30 days to see whether a final economic agreement can be negotiated with Canada.”
The month of postponing gives the federal states to negotiate a “deal”, as Trump wrote on the social network Truthsocial. Minister Marco Rubio (outside), Scott Bessent (finance) and Minister of Commerce Howard Lutnick (trade) are to negotiate with Mexico.
It remains unclear what Trump praised. “As President, it is my job to ensure the security of all Americans, and that's exactly what I do,” Trump wrote about turkey. However, some Republican senators and numerous business associations have related to the tariff position and tried to influence it.
