  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has announced a last-minute deal with Canada to delay 50% US tariffs on imports from Ottawa. The tariffs, which were set to take effect, target around 5.5% of Canada's exports to the US, worth about $20 billion, according to estimates from Oxford Economics.\n\nThe two countries traded goods and services worth close to $1 trillion last year despite their strained relations. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump spoke on the phone on Monday, with Carney describing the talks as being at an \"intense and delicate\" stage.\n\nThe Canadian dollar got a minor lift after the announcement of a pause on the tariffs for a three-day period. The US and Canada have been negotiating to avert the new tariffs and secure relief on sector-specific duties that have affected Canada's auto, steel, lumber, and aluminium industries.",
