The US and Canada appear to be moving toward a trade breakthrough after President Donald Trump paused planned 50% tariffs on Canadian goods for three days, saying the two sides had reached a deal pending final documents. Canada has yet to confirm the agreement. Key sticking points include auto tariffs, with Washington reportedly seeking more US content in Canadian vehicles. The dispute also threatens Canadian lumber, wine and dairy industries. Trump has floated reviving the Keystone XL pipeline as part of stronger economic ties. The temporary pause gives negotiators crucial time to finalise terms and potentially avert another major North American trade war.
