Tariff Tango: A Dance of Delayed Diplomacy President Trump's 11th hour decision to pause the implementation of 50% tariffs on Canadian goods has bought negotiators a three day reprieve.
This temporary stay of execution will undoubtedly bring some relief to companies on both sides of the border, but it also raises questions about the state of international diplomacy in the era of Trump.
The White House's decision to delay the tariffs was reportedly made after Canadian negotiators expressed a commitment to concede on certain trade grievances.
