The imbalance in President Trump’s treatment of America’s closest trading partners may come from his desire to make Canada the 51st state, some Canadians believe.

The delay of tariffs set to take effect Friday came after a phone call between President Trump and his Mexican counterpart, President Claudia Sheinbaum.

U.S. President Donald Trump gave Mexico a 90-day reprieve from higher tariffs on Thursday to negotiate a broader trade deal but was expected to issue higher final duty rates for most other countries as the clock wound down on his Friday deal deadline.
