Trump to pause promised tariffs for 30 days after speaking with Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday U.S. President Donald Trump will hold off on levying tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days after Canada made a series of commitments to improve security along the border. The country can let out a collective sigh of relief — at least for now. To get Trump to shelve his punishing tariffs, Trudeau told him Canada is pressing ahead with a $1.3-billion border security plan that includes reinforcing the 49th parallel with new choppers, technology and personnel and stepping up its co-ordination with American officials to crack down on Trump’s stated priorities: illegal drugs and migrants. Trudeau said, all told, there will be 10,000 front-line personnel working along the border as part of a push to make it safer. 4 Videos, links, more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 17:49
