Trump calls off the 50% tariff tantrum on Canada

Original version ·

Looks like the trade war with our neighbors is hitting the snooze button for now.

So Donald Trump was threatening to slap a massive 50% tax on everything coming across the border from Canada. But just like that, it's off the table because they apparently cut a deal. The trade war is on pause before it even really started.

Meanwhile, the progressives in Florida just had a rough night at the polls. It turns out the state isn't exactly leaning into the radical shift some were hoping for.

It is wild how quickly a potential economic disaster can just vanish with a single phone call.
