Live Updates: Trump to Delay Tariffs on Canada for 30 Days as China Tariffs to Take Effect on Tuesday | US News


President Donald Trump has decided to delay imposing new tariffs on Canada and Mexico for at least 30 days, marking the third time he has postponed the threatened 25% tariffs. However, China is still set to face a 10% levy on its exports to the US from Tuesday. The decision to hold off on tariffs for Canada and Mexico came after talks with Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum. This move followed a day of volatility in global financial markets as investors reacted to escalating tensions between the world’s largest economies.

Trump’s administration has also confirmed plans to merge the US international aid agency USAid into the state department. The merge is part of a revamp that will shrink the agency’s workforce and align its spending with Trump’s priorities. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has declared himself the acting administrator of USAid, sparking controversy and confusion over the fate of the agency.

At the same time, Trump has invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the White House, while also considering issuing an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education as part of efforts to slash federal agencies. Meanwhile, the US Senate has confirmed fracking executive Chris Wright as energy secretary, and the Interior Department has unveiled orders to maximize domestic energy production and cut red tape.

Overall, Trump’s administration remains at the center of multiple controversies and policy changes that continue to shape the landscape of US politics and international relations.
