Mon Feb 03 21:59:00 UTC 2025: ## US Pauses Tariffs on Canadian Goods After Trudeau’s Border Security Pledge
**OTTAWA** – The United States has agreed to temporarily suspend tariffs on Canadian goods for 30 days, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday. The decision follows a phone call with President Donald Trump during which Trudeau committed to significantly bolstering Canada’s border security measures.
Trudeau stated on X (formerly Twitter) that Canada will deploy approximately 10,000 frontline officers to strengthen border controls. Further measures include designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations, appointing a “Fentanyl Czar” to combat the opioid crisis, and intensifying efforts to curb money laundering. These enhanced security measures appear to have been instrumental in securing the temporary reprieve from US tariffs. The nature of the tariffs themselves was not specified in the announcement.
