  "account": "US and Canada have agreed to postpone new 50 percent tariffs on each other's imports, according to Donald Trump, the US President. The planned tariffs on Canadian imports would be temporarily suspended for three days, giving both countries time for further negotiations. The tariffs would have affected around $20 billion worth of goods, including hockey sticks and medical wood augers. The Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, tried to avoid new tariffs at the last minute during a phone call with Trump. The $20 billion in tariffs were set to take effect at midnight and were the second meeting between the two leaders in a week. The existing US tariffs on Canadian vehicles were one of the main points of contention in the negotiations. Both sides have discussed lowering the tariffs from 25 to 15 percent, with a significant point of contention being the base calculation for future duty reductions. The US government wants only products made in the US to be counted, while Canada wants all North American content, including Canadian and Mexican parts, to be considered. The tariffs on polysilicon products and minimum import prices were also announced by the Trump administration, with prices ranging from $21 per kilogram for polysilicon to $100 per kilogram for blocks and wafers. The new trade restrictions are based on a US law from 1962.",
