President Trump on Thursday suspended 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods covered by the North American free-trade agreement, saying the temporary delay was to help the auto industry and affirming he will levy broader tariffs April 2.

Trump signed executive orders March 6 pausing the tariffs two days after they went into effect. Earlier in the day, he announced on social media he was suspending tariffs on Mexico.

The executive orders also lowered the tariff to 10% on potash not covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The move was to help farmers, according to the White House.

Potash is an ingredient in fertilizer. Some 85% of the potash used in the U.S. is imported from Canada, according to the American Farm Bureau.

The tariffs had gone into effect March 4. The White House said modifying the tariffs will prevent disruptions to the auto industry’s supply chain.

“Just a modification, short term,” Trump said, speaking to reporters. “It would have hurt the American car companies.”

He said he intended to go through with plans to levy reciprocal tariffs with all trading partners.

“April 2 is going to be a very big day for America,” he said. “It will be a big game changer for our country because we’ve been ripped off by every country in the world.

“Whatever they charge us, we’re going to charge them. There’ll be no getting out of it,” he said.

Trump said the tariffs will help U.S. agriculture. “Our farmers will be very happy,” he said.

American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall said in a statement he appreciated the delay in tariffs until April 2.

“The pause will ensure farmers and ranchers can continue to export American agricultural goods to both countries without fear of retaliatory tariffs,” he said.

“We encourage the administration to continue working toward permanently resolving issues with Mexico and Canada to preserve important markets and to ensure farmers have access to the supplies they need to keep America’s pantries stocked,” Duvall said.In a social media post, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum thanked Trump for lifting the tariffs. Mexico had planned to announce retaliatory tariffs March 10.

Canada responded March 4 with 25% tariffs on some U.S. goods and planned a second-round of tariffs in 21 days. The Associated Press reported that Canadian officials said the tariffs will stay in place.
