Ottawa, Canada - Recent Canadian residents remain concerned about the impact of potentially crippling trade measures enforced by the United States, even after the U.S. temporarily paused its planned tariffs on Canadian goods. U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that the introduction of tariffs would be delayed for a 30-day period while a possible economic deal with Canada can be worked out. It came following talks earlier in the day with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, during which agreements were reached for the U.S. to postpone the planned tariffs on the two countries after both pledged to strengthen border management. The pause, which came just hours before the tariffs were scheduled to start, might have averted an immediate trade war between the U.S. and its northern neighbor but despite the brief respite, the tension has left many uneasy as some accuse Trump of stoking trouble. In return for the 30-day delay, Trudeau said Canada has promised to strengthen border security, with new helicopters, technology, and around 10,000 personnel being deployed to protect the border. He added that resources will also be increased to stop the flow of the drug fentanyl. Canada's economy relies heavily on its North American neighbor, with nearly two-thirds of its exports heading across the border to the U.S. Economists warn that if the tariffs are finally imposed, the fallout could be devastating. Gray stressed the importance of an open trading system, saying that clearing all obstacles to global trade helps strengthen the world economy. He warned Trump's approach risks having a detrimental effect which could backfire on his own country. Prior to Monday's development, Trump had signed executive orders on Saturday to impose a 25 percent additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10-percent tariff hike on imports from China, with the move drawing widespread opposition and sparking immediate retaliations. The tariff order on Canada was for 25 percent on all imports and 10 percent on energy products. Canada immediately hit back with 25-percent tariffs on over 100 billion U.S. dollars worth of American goods, before the implementation was paused on Monday. Shotlist: Ottawa, Canada - Recent: 1.
