Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days.

 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

“I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.

In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.

Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.”

 


 

PD Leadership:

We’re happy to hear that our two countries are working together to find solutions to common challenges.

That said, we shouldn’t discount what transpired over the last month, and especially the last few days. It should be a wakeup call for you and our Canadian brothers and sisters.
