Cryptocurrency market rebounds as Trump suspends tariffs on Canada and Mexico
Both Canada and Mexico have agreed to implement policies to curb illegal drug trafficking and immigration into the United States after a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump.
The cryptocurrency market rebounded strongly after U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to temporarily suspend the proposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico while negotiations with these countries continue.
In a statement on February 3 on X, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that he spoke with Trump and that the tariffs would be suspended for at least 30 days while the two countries work together.
Trudeau mentioned that Canada would enhance "coordination with U.S. partners, implementing a $1.3 billion border plan that includes strengthening the appointment of a Fentanyl Czar, designating gangs as terrorists, and bolstering the U.S.-Canada border with helicopters and more personal measures.
Mexico's tariffs have also been suspended for a month. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated in a February 3 statement on X that the two leaders had "reached a series of agreements," with similar promises regarding strengthening the shared land border between the two countries.
"Our teams will start working today on two fronts: security and trade. They will suspend tariffs for a month from now," Sheinbaum said.
