+++ US Customs Policy +++: Lula and Trump Want to Continue Tariff Negotiations

The US and Canada have agreed to delay new US tariffs on Canadian imports, US President Donald Trump announced. The planned 50% tariffs on Canadian goods worth around $20 billion, including hockey sticks and medical wooden spatulas, were set to take effect at midnight. The delay gives both countries time for further negotiations, with Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney having spoken to Trump by phone in a last-ditch effort to avert the new tariffs. The tariffs make up about 5% of Canada's annual exports to the US.
