Trump agrees to pause tariffs on Canada in exchange for more border enforcement

By Louis Casiano | Fox News President Donald Trump will pause additional tariffs on Canadian imports for 30 days following a call with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who made some concessions to temporarily stave off the levies.  Trump and Trudeau spoke via phone Monday, hours before additional 25% tariffs were to take effect on Canadian goods coming into the United States. In a post on X, Trudeau said Canada will implement a $1.3 billion border plan and will appoint a fentanyl czar.  In addition, Canada will reinforce its border with new helicopters, technology, personnel and enhanced coordination with American authorities. He added that nearly 10,000 personnel are and will be working on border protection.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

What will the Fed do with interest rates and how will Trump react?

By Eric Revell  | Fox Business The Federal Reserve is set to announce its next interest rate move on Wednesday, which could prompt a reaction from President Donald Trump, who recently called for the Fed to lower interest rates. Members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) are expected to leave the target for the benchmark federal funds rate unchanged at a range of 4.25% to 4.5% — which would be the central bank's first pause in this rate-cutting cycle following three consecutive cuts that brought rates down from 5.25% to 5.5%. The Fed's anticipated pause could prompt Trump to renew his criticism of the central bank and Fed Chair Jerome Powell, following the president's call for lower interest rates last week.
