Agreements with Mexico’s President and Prime Minister Trudeau Temporarily Halt New Levies Amid Border Security Concessions

President Donald Trump announced that he has agreed to “immediately pause” planned tariffs on Mexico and Canada following separate high-stakes discussions with their leaders.

The decision comes after Trump spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, securing commitments aimed at addressing U.S. concerns over border security and fentanyl trafficking.

The pause on Mexican tariffs will last for one month, while Canadian imports will be spared additional levies for 30 days.

The reprieve with Canada followed a Monday phone call just hours before 25% tariffs were set to take effect.

In a post on X, Prime Minister Trudeau revealed that Canada will implement a $1.3 billion border security plan, appoint a national “fentanyl czar,” and deploy nearly 10,000 personnel focused on enhancing border protection.

Additionally, Canada will reinforce its borders with advanced technology, helicopters, and improved coordination with U.S. authorities.

These moves are seen as key concessions to temporarily stave off economic penalties.

While the tariff pause offers short-term relief to businesses and consumers, questions remain about the long-term future of U.S. trade policy.

The Trump Administration’s broader approach to tariffs continues to spark debate, with potential economic ripple effects looming if further agreements aren’t reached.

Meta’s AI glasses launch stumbles with demo failures, raising doubts about the technology’s readiness and future integration.

Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled Meta’s first so-called AI glasses, promising a crisp high-resolution display and futuristic wristband controls. But what should have been a triumph quickly turned awkward.

The $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display was billed as a breakthrough, yet the much-hyped live demo stumbled. The glasses ignored instructions during a cooking demonstration, and Zuckerberg’s Neural Band failed to answer a call from his CTO, forcing a clumsy workaround on stage.

Zuckerberg blamed WiFi issues, but the misfires raised doubts over whether Meta’s glasses are ready for prime time. For now, the vision of seamlessly blending AI with everyday eyewear seems more promise than reality.

Trump claims Kimmel’s suspension due to ratings, while Democrats call it an attack on free speech amid political tensions.

Donald Trump has claimed Jimmy Kimmel was taken off air because of poor ratings, as Democrats accuse the move of being an attack on free speech.

Jimmy Kimmel Live, a late-night staple since 2003 on Disney-owned ABC, was suddenly suspended after the host criticised Trump’s response to the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

The outspoken comedian, a frequent critic of Trump, mocked the former president’s reaction, sparking outrage among ABC’s local affiliates who pulled the show from their schedules.
