In the first days of his presidency, Donald Trump issued a flurry of executive orders, but noticeably absent was the imposition of new tariffs on Canada and Mexico, a key campaign promise. Trump had vowed to impose a 25% tariff on these nations, citing trade deficits and job losses. However, his administration's decision to delay this action has sparked speculation about the future of US trade policy and its potential impact on the economy, including international trade agreements and global trade wars. This move has significant implications for trade relations and economic growth.
