Trump blinks: 50% tariff on Canada postponed at the buzzer

Original version ·

Nothing like a little geopolitical adrenaline to spice up a Tuesday.

Less than two hours before the hammer was supposed to drop, Trump Trump pulled the plug on the massive 50% tariff hike on Canada. Apparently, a last-minute deal materialized just in time to stop the trade chaos.

It’s almost impressive how these things always seem to come down to the wire. The threat of blowing up the continent's biggest trade relationship evaporated faster than a cheap drink.

Everything is fine until the next 11th-hour crisis hits the news cycle.
