Trump Says Canada Tariffs Paused, Floats Keystone XL Pipeline Revival
The potential revival would mark another effort by Trump to reverse Biden-era policies on the controversial pipeline.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he is pausing 50 percent tariffs on Canadian imports for three days. The decision comes after a tentative agreement between the United States and Canada, which still needs final documentation. The tariffs, set to take effect on Wednesday, were scheduled to apply to roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian goods.
Trump also hinted that this pause could lead to a revival of the Keystone XL Pipeline, which was canceled under President Joe Biden in 2021. The pipeline, a contentious energy project, was designed to transport crude oil from Canada to the United States. Despite progress in negotiations, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that the terms did not meet Canada's objectives and that Canada would respond to the tariffs "dollar for dollar" to protect workers and businesses.
