Summary
Trump granted Canada a 30-day tariff delay after Prime Minister Trudeau agreed to boost border security and designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
However, Trump is already pushing for further economic concessions, including changes in dairy, auto, and banking regulations.
His repeated comments about annexing Canada have sparked controversy but lack political support in either country.
The tariff threats rattled markets, briefly lowering stocks before rebounding. With another deadline looming, Canada faces continued uncertainty as Trump’s administration signals more aggressive trade demands.
