According to the Epoch Times:
”Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says tariffs have been put on pause after a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump on Feb. 3.
Trudeau announced in a post on social media that he had a “good call” with the president on the afternoon of Feb. 3.
“Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together,” he said.”

The Putinistas can stop lying about aid to Ukraine.
Zelensky is correct, Ukraine did not get $200 billion from the US, only about half of that.
“It’s important to note that of the $175 billion total, only $106 billion directly aids the government of Ukraine. Most of the remainder is funding various U.S. activities associated with the war in Ukraine, and a small portion supports other affected countries in the region.
A large share of the money in the aid bills is spent in the United States, paying for American factories and workers to produce the various weapons that are either shipped to Ukraine or that replenish the U.S. weapons stocks the Pentagon has drawn on during the war. One analysis, by the American Enterprise Institute, found that Ukraine aid is funding defense manufacturing in more than seventy U.S. cities.”
And of course, every penny sent to Ukraine and used to procure weapons in the US WAS audited.

Memo to NYC moron.
I support free trade. I don’t believe in stupid tariffs or stupid trade wars or in the failed AFL-CIO agenda of the last 70 years.
Not supporting tariffs means not supporting tariffs and thus not supporting the “threat of tariffs” either. It means I don’t support using tariffs as a “negotiating stance”. Concessions or “deals” made as a result of threats or coercion are the opposite of free trade.
NAFTA is a free trade agreement. There should be ZERO trade restrictions, duties, protectionism, tariffs, etc. among the US, Canada and Mexico.
Hope it is clear to the “I oppose tariffs, but Trump’s tariffs are different” moron.

Sen. Ron Johnson: “I Share The Market’s Concerns” About Tariffs, “Smoot-Hawley Was Not Particularly Successful”
Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, an ally of President Trump, told Newsmax on Monday morning that he is concerned about the effect tariffs on Canada and Mexico could have on the U.S. economy.
“In general, tariffs are a tax. When you tax something, you get less of it. So we’ll probably get fewer imports, but then with retaliation, fewer exports. Smoot-Hawley was not a particularly successful round of tariffs—it helped spark the Depression. So I share the market’s concern, but we’ll see what Trump really has in mind here,” Johnson said.
“I hope we don’t end up with long-term 25% tariffs against each country. I don’t believe that’s productive. It’s going to hurt Americans, American companies, and American exporters. It will hurt American consumers long term,” Johnson said. “So again, I just can’t predict where this all goes, but I’m concerned. I don’t know what else I can really say.”
