# US president Donald Trump says he has paused for three days the 50-percent tariff on a wide range of Canadian goods, which were scheduled to kick in today. The tariffs would have covered products including dairy, alcohol and furniture. In a post on Truth Social, Trump says the US and Canada have reached a deal, subject to the finalisation of documents. Canadian prime minister Mark Carney says substantial progress has been made towards a trade deal, but more work is needed.
