Canada and the United States appear to have avoided a costly tariff war for now after leaders of both countries found some common ground during a call on Monday.

The tariffs have been delayed for 30 days, according to a post on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s X account.

U.S. President Donald Trump had ordered 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports, with the exception of energy, which would be subject to a 10 per cent tariff. In response, Trudeau announced counter tariffs on $30 billion in American goods, primed to rise to $155 billion later this month.
