U.S. President Donald Trump has delayed his new 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods after he said the two countries reached a tentative deal and that the Keystone XL pipeline “may be awoken from the grave.”

Trump’s 50 per cent tariffs have been delayed by three days.

Getting close but not much detail.

Did Carney promise to cover Quebec’s Dairy cartel losses with more of our money after opening the border to US product?

“The White House has publicly said Canada moved on three sectors, including dairy.

The U.S. had been pushing to change the rules on what dairy products can be sold into Canada tariff-free, and while talks continue, that change now looks likely.”

Canada dodged a tariff bullet at midnight — but Ottawa isn’t saying how it happened. Details of the new deal that spared the country crushing new tariffs are scant Wednesday morning.

What details are emerging come from the American side, which seems happy with the result, while Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government is saying little.

Will Dairy Cartel deliver soured milk?

U.S. President Donald Trump hinted that he may revive an old pipeline project that would export oil from Canada to the U.S. as part of a pending trade deal.

In a Truth Social post shared Tuesday night, Trump said he had suspended the 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods for three days, two hours before they were set to take place on Wednesday.

The deal, he stated, may include revitalizing the Keystone XL pipeline, a long hotly-contested project that has been in the works for almost a decade.

The use of upper-case letters and the exclamation point made it sound like a win.

But the subclause in the statement should give Canadians pause.

“Canada and the U. S. A, subject to the finalization of documents, have a DEAL!” U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on social media late Tuesday night, just before 50 per cent tariffs were set to take effect.

TORONTO—California Merlots, Kentucky bourbons and Tennessee whiskeys are collecting dust in Canada as alcohol becomes a high-profile hostage of trade tensions with the U.S.

After President Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods last year, Canada’s provincial leaders hit back. The majority of provinces exercised their power over the distribution and sale of alcohol to pull U.S.-made wine, spirits and beer from most store shelves and stopped placing new orders.

While alcohol accounts for a tiny portion of the nearly $900 billion in trade between Canada and the U.S., few aspects of Canada’s response to Trump’s economic aggression have gotten under the skin of U.S. officials—while drawing broad support from the Canadian public—quite like the booze bans.

Prime Minister Mark Carney in a social media post struck a more optimistic note than he had a day earlier and suggested some kind of deal is imminent.

Congratulations Minister LeBlanc and Ambassador Greer for the significant progress in the Canada-United States trade negotiations.

Canada entered these discussions with the best overall trade terms. We are now moving towards an agreement that reinforces that Canadian advantage,… https://t.co/2X8axwEeiE
