    In this executive order, the President is responding to Canada's insufficient action in combating drug trafficking and illegal migration, which is considered a threat to the United States.

As a result, the implementation of additional tariffs is paused until March 4, 2025. During this pause, U.S. officials will assess whether Canada's actions are effective, with a possibility to resume tariffs if the situation does not improve.

    Simple Explanation

    The President made a rule to pause some extra charges on things from Canada because they are trying to help stop bad things like drug trafficking. They will check again in March to see if Canada is helping enough or if the extra charges might start again.
