Canada's Trudeau says Trump tariffs will be postponed by at least 30 days after he promises more cooperation on border

President Donald Trump on Monday held off on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada for 30 days after the two U.S. neighbors agreed to boost border security efforts.
Trump on Saturday had directed that 25% tariffs on most imports from the two American partners — and 10% on Canadian energy products — go into effect at midnight Tuesday. The two nations threatened retaliation of their own, raising the prospects of a broader regional trade war.
In a statement on X, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that on a call with Trump he pledged additional cooperation on border security. It follows similar moves by Mexico earlier Monday.
"Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together," Trudeau said.
Senate Democrats highlight economic toll of Trump's tariffs on constituents
Senate Democrats are highlighting the economic toll that President Donald Trump's tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico will have on their constituents as they rallied against his efforts on Monday.
Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., said consumers in her state are being informed by suppliers that tariffs on home heating oil would be passed on to them.
"This could increase home heating costs in New Hampshire by hundreds of dollars per year," Hassan said.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, citing a report from the Budget Lab at Yale University, a policy research center, said that the average American household would see their yearly expenses rise more than $1,200 because of the increased tariffs.
"If these tariffs go through, they'll be felt everywhere, from the grocery store to the gas pump to local businesses, even your upcoming Super Bowl party," Schumer said.
