Trump's cryptic response as Canada tariffs postponed

President Donald Trump was asked about his call with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, responding with a simple, “very good.” When pressed about whether he would be “still doing the tariffs tonight,” Trump cryptically replied, “Watch!”

This exchange follows a tense trade dispute after Trudeau announced retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, hours after Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports and a 10% tariff on Chinese goods.

In a positive development, Trudeau later confirmed on social media that proposed tariffs would be paused for at least 30 days while the two countries work together.
