President Donald Trump said he was reevaluating plans to double steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada to 50% after Ontario announced it would suspend a 25% surcharge on electricity sent to the US.

“I’m looking at that, but probably so,” Trump told reporters Tuesday when asked if the de-escalation would lead him to back down on his tariff threat. “I’ll let you know about it.”

Trump’s comments appeared to calm a brief but dramatic volley in the widening trade war between the US and Canada that has rocked markets and hung a cloud of uncertainty across major North American industries.
