Trump Delays Canada, Mexico Tariffs for Goods Under Trade Pact

President Donald Trump exempted Mexican and Canadian goods covered by the North American trade agreement known as USMCA from his 25% tariffs, offering major reprieves to the US’s two largest trading partners.
Trump signed orders Thursday paring back the tariffs, which are related to illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking, until April 2. That is the date when the president is expected to start unveiling plans for so-called reciprocal duties on nations around the world as well as sector-specific duties.
