President Trump announced a three-day pause on 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian imports hours before they were set to take effect, postponing them until 12:01 a.m. Saturday pending finalization of documents. The move followed talks described by Trump as yielding a fair deal for both sides, with Canadian official Dominic LeBlanc returning to Ottawa to meet Prime Minister Mark Carney. Reports of specific reductions in auto and steel tariffs remain disputed.
