The federal government is pushing back its second and larger round of retaliatory measures against U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs — but just by one week — in response to his latest move to delay levies on most Canadian and Mexican goods by one month.

“As a result, Canada will not proceed with the second wave of tariffs on $125B of U.S. products until April 2nd, while we continue to work for the removal of all tariffs,” Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc said in a post on X.

Canada has already imposed a 25 per cent tariff on $30 billion in U.S. goods — which remains in place — with another round of tariffs on a wider list of American products, valued at $125 billion, originally expected to come into effect later this month. Those tariffs have now been pushed back until April 2.
