"Even in announcing this supposed pause, a White House official told some American news outlets on a background briefing that the tariff reprieve would only apply to Canadian exports that are compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) — and not goods that are sold into the U.S. outside of that trade deal.
The Associated Press reported that roughly 62 per cent of imports from Canada would likely still face the 25 per cent tariffs because they're not "USMCA compliant," according to a White House official who insisted on anonymity to preview the orders on a call with reporters."
Majority of goods still affected by tariffs. Any suggestion that tariffs are being paused is a complete lie.
- dekhn 2y agoDo you say "lie" because you believe the media is actively lying, or do you really mean error by omission (due to lack of deep research)?
- watwut 2y agoThe actual title in the linked media is: "Trump pausing tariffs on some Canadian goods until April 2". So, media did not lied nor committed error by omission. To be fair, OP did not mentioned or accused media. The hacker news title is "Trump says he is pausing tariffs on Canadian ...". So, either Trump lies or the HN title lies.
