The Latest: Trump says US and Canada reached deal to delay US tariffs on Canadian imports

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States and Canada have reached an agreement to delay US tariffs on Canadian imports. Dr. Heidi Overton, a top White House aide and a medical doctor, has been selected to lead the Food and Drug Administration. Overton is a trusted administration figure and champion of President Trump's health initiatives.

If confirmed by the Senate, she will need to balance various priorities, including Trump's regulatory preferences and the anti-corporate stance of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The US has imposed a 50% tariff on $20 billion worth of Canadian imports, causing strain in the already tense relations between the two countries.

However, Canada and the US have agreed to postpone the sanctions by less than two hours before they were to take effect on Tuesday, giving them more time to negotiate and avoid further escalation in their relationship.
