Exclusion of Canada and Mexico from Tariff Suspension

In a surprising turn of events, Canada and Mexico have been excluded from US President Donald Trump's global 90-day tariff suspension, as reported by CBC News correspondent Katie Simpson on Wednesday. This revelation, citing a White House official, contradicts earlier statements made by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Details of the Tariff Policy

Earlier today, Bessent indicated that both Canada and Mexico were included in the 90-day pause and the universal 10% tariff. However, it has now been clarified that while both countries remain subject to the 25% tariff on non-USMCA trade previously imposed by Trump, they will not face an additional 10% baseline tariff.
