EEUU suspendió aranceles a Canadá por 30 días

Caracas.- The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, reported Monday that after talking with the president of the United States, Donald Trump, the 25%tariff implementation will be suspended for 30 days, whose entry into force was scheduled for Tuesday.

Trudeau published on his social networks the following message: “I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is applying our border plan of 1.3 billion dollars: border reinforcement with new helicopters, technology and personnel, improvement of coordination with our US partners and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Almost 10,000 frontline troops work and work on the protection of the border. ”

“In addition, Canada has pledged to name a tsar of the fentanil Canada-United States together to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl, and we will support it with 200 million dollars, ”said the Canadian.

Meanwhile, he concluded: “The proposed tariffs will be suspended for at least 30 days while we work together.”

Trump confirmed the news and was “very satisfied” that Trudeau has agreed to harden border measures against the flow of the fentanyl drug.

“Canada has agreed to ensure that we have a safe northern border and finally end the deadly drug scourge such as the fentanyl that has been entering our country, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans and destroying families and communities throughout the country” Trump said in his social network.

The temporary suspension of tariffs occurs a few hours before the United States began the application of 10% taxes to Canadian oil and gas purchases and 25% to the rest of the imports.
