WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that pauses tariffs on some Canadian imports that comply with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement linked to the auto industry, and also lowers levies on potash to 10 per cent.

The order was read out in the Oval Office and says the tariff relief is linked to the flow of parts to American car manufacturers and to helping farmers.

More to come.
