Trump's announcement of the pause until April 2 did not mention Canada, and came shortly after he levelled new attacks against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he will temporarily waive tariffs on products from Mexico that fall under the North American free trade agreement, two days after launching a continental trade war.

The announcement did not mention Canada, which is also facing sweeping tariffs on all goods entering the U.S., despite Trump’s commerce secretary saying earlier that both countries would “likely” see a reprieve. It came shortly after Trump levelled new attacks against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following a heated exchange Wednesday.

“After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement,” Trump wrote on Truth Social following a scheduled call between the two leaders.

      The auto industry already had a 30-day exemption from tariffs.

        Thank you for letting me know to look into that. My head is spinning so much with everything going on that I didn’t know about or even consider such a thing.

      idk, Trump doesn’t seem to give two shits about TSLA. The whole presidency doesn’t seem to have been a great deal for Musk at all (assuming he’s not eating out of the treasury or something). xAI doesn’t get AI endorsement and oil industry takes priority over Tesla at every turn.
