President Donald Trump issued an executive order pausing planned tariffs on Canadian goods until March 4, 2025.
The 25% tariff on imports and 10% on energy products were postponed in response to Canada taking steps to address drug trafficking and illegal migration at the northern border.
The administration emphasized the need for further evaluation of Canada’s measures. Homeland Security officials will monitor the situation, and the tariffs could be reinstated if progress stalls or the crises worsen.
The order highlights the president’s authority under national security laws to impose economic measures.
