Donald Trump a annoncé une entente de principe avec le Canada sur les tarifs douaniers

Dans une publication sociale en fin de soirée mardi, le président américain a indiqué qu’il reportait de trois jours l’instauration de nouveaux droits de douane américains sur de nombreux produits canadiens.

Trump a justifié le report de l’entrée en vigueur par le fait que les deux pays seraient parvenus à une entente, qui resterait cependant à finaliser par écrit.
