Trump Delays Canadian Tariffs Amid Crypto Meeting
President Donald Trump has announced that he will pause the planned tariffs on Canadian goods for three days, stating that the US and Canada are finalizing a trade deal. The 50% tariffs were set to take effect at midnight on Wednesday.
The move comes as Trump prepares to meet with leaders in the crypto, prediction market, and financial sectors at the White House. Regulatory agency chiefs will also be in attendance. This gathering follows the Senate's decision to delay action on the Clarity Act, which would establish a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.
