Canada doesn’t want ‘melodrama every 30 days’: Joly on temporary tariff pause

Speaking to reporters in Montréal on Thursday, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly addressed U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision – made earlier in the day – to temporarily waive some of the 25 per cent tariffs placed on Canada earlier this week. “We don’t want to go through that melodrama every 30 days,” she said. “That’s why we’re keeping our tariffs. We’re making sure to put pressure on American businesses.”
