U.S. President Donald Trump announced today that tariffs against Canada will be delayed until early April.The tariffs were originally going to go into effect in February. They were then delayed by 30 days and were to kick in next week. This is the third delay.During a cabinet meeting at the White House, Trump responded to a reporter's question about whether he would continue the pause on tariffs against Canada and Mexico.Trump confirmed that he was not going to stop the tariffs due to the U.S. having "lost millions of people due to fentanyl."However, he seemingly pushed back the start date of enacting the tariffs on Canada until the spring.Trump appears to suggest tariffs on Canada have been pushed back to April 2nd (not April 1st because he's superstitious).He also adds that fentanyl is apparently once again his top issue for talks with Canada. pic.twitter.com/IIFRCFmoSX— Courtney Theriault (@cspotweet) February 26, 2025"I have to tell you that, you know, on April 2 — I...
