The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that U.S. President Donald Trump is granting vehicles assembled in Canada or Mexico a 30-day reprieve from the steep tariffs he imposed on both countries this week. The Globe's Steven Chase and Laura Stone write, however, that the temporary pause is only so automakers can get started on shifting production to the United States from Canada and Mexico, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. The reprieve also covers auto parts originating in Canada or Mexico. The President is also considering exempting certain agricultural products from the 25-per-cent tariffs imposed on Canada and Mexico. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told Bloomberg News that "everything is on the table" and she is "hopeful" that the administration could decide on providing relief for the agricultural sector. The auto industry announcement was issued after Mr. Trump spoke with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by phone Wednesday. More than 100,000 Canadians work in the auto-parts industry, including tooling. In Toronto, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Canada can still put export taxes on Canadian products such as potash that the United States is highly dependent on.
