Just as he did earlier in the day with the Mexico’s president, President Trump came to an agreement on Monday with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pausing the proposed 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods for 30 days. 

The tariffs that the Trump administration planned to go into effect this week on Canada, Mexico, and China have been paused for one month.

The U.S. Apple Association today joined more than 40 agriculture and food groups to call for the elimination or reduction of U.S. tariffs being imposed on other countries that in turn are harming U.S. agriculture through retaliatory tariffs.
