Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday U.S. President Donald Trump will hold off on levying tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days after Canada made a series of commitments to improve security along the border.

The country can let out a collective sigh of relief β€” at least for now.

To get Trump to shelve his punishing tariffs, Trudeau said Canada is reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel and stepping up its co-ordination with American officials to stop the flow of fentanyl.

He also said that Canada is unfair and doesn't take US agricultural products:

The United States is Canada's largest agricultural trading partner, buying 59.2 percent of Canadian exports and supplying 57.0 percent of Canadian imports. In addition, Canada is also the leading agricultural trade partner of the United States, when exports and imports are combined. USDA

It's nonsense. He's just making shit up. US Banks are already here doing what they want to do here: lending and investment. He's talking about having branches for personal banking. It's seriously just some bullshit he made up.
