Donald Trump said the Keystone XL pipeline “may be awoken from the grave” after tariff suspension

President Donald Trump said Tuesday night that he is suspending 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, minutes before they were set to take effect, after what he described as a preliminary agreement between the two countries. The duties would have hit roughly $20 billion in Canadian imports, including liquor, dairy, vehicles, and hockey equipment. Trump wrote on Truth Social that the deal was pending final paperwork, and added that the long-stalled Keystone XL pipeline could possibly be revived. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed that Washington agreed to delay the tariffs until August 21 under a 1930 trade law, citing substantial progress in talks. The dispute stemmed from U.S. complaints about Canadian trade restrictions on American vehicles.
