US president is said to be preparing to temporarily shelve tariffs on many goods from the two countries once again

Donald Trump is poised to pull back from his trade war with Canada and Mexico, according to one of his top officials, temporarily delaying tariffs on many goods from the two countries once again.

Two days after imposing sweeping tariffs on all imports from his country’s closest trading partners, the US president is said to be preparing to shelve duties on a wide range of products until April.
