In a groundbreaking turn of events, President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reached a deal that will change the course of international relations, or at least the course of a scone-filled breakfast meeting. The two leaders, in a gesture reminiscent of the art of diplomacy practiced since ancient times, decided to pause additional tariffs on Canadian imports for 30 days—right after they finished debating the merits of maple syrup versus corn syrup. The deal was struck through a highly confidential phone call held Monday, just hours before a hefty 25% tariff was set to slam Canadian goods like a snowstorm on a sunny day. Sources say that Trudeau emerged from the negotiation with glowing reports of his scone-baking prowess after offering Trump a traditional Canadian breakfast treat as a part of their “Gentleman’s Agreement” strategy. "Over a perfect cup of coffee—blended in the backwoods of Canada, of course—we reached an understanding," Trudeau confirmed to reporters. "I think a scone can go a long way in softening trade tensions. Plus, who can resist a perfectly baked pastry?" The new deal, which experts are already dubbing the "Scone Accord," will allow both leaders to mutually benefit by avoiding the traditional chaos of tariffs while elevating the country’s baked goods to international stardom. Trump, clearly focused on the bigger picture, remarked, "I love scones. They are tremendous, just tremendous. And you know what? I'm very, very good at making deals—everyone says so!" Economic analysts, meanwhile, are still scratching their heads, wondering how a scone is considered an acceptable medium for negotiation. “This is unprecedented,” said one baffled economist. “Is this how we resolve international disputes now? Do we just bake our way to better relations?” As experts sift through the implications of this culinary collaboration, special interest groups are salivating at the potential profits. "This opens up a new frontier for pastry commerce," said a spokesperson for the Canadian Bake Goods Association. "Scones could become the new currency in international trade—who needs Bitcoin when you've got butter and flour?" Residents along the U.S.-Canada border, meanwhile, celebrated the reprieve from tariffs with parades featuring marching bands and floats all themed around dessert. “I’ve never felt so united with Canada,” said one border town mayor. “All it took was some flour and sugar!” However, critics are warning against the potential for a "scone bubble," where the economy becomes overly reliant on baked goods rather than solid trade agreements. "It's all fun and games until someone runs out of wheat," cautioned a trade policy expert. While the world waits to see how this doughy diplomatic tactic will unfold, one thing is clear: Trump and Trudeau are up for cooking the books—literally. "In 30 days," Trump declared, grinning from ear to ear, "we’ll either have a historic trade agreement or the best damn bake sale this continent has ever seen!"
