Trump agreed to delay tariffs on Canada and Mexico after their leaders agreed to measures to stop the flow of the opioid fentanyl into the United States.
Sort of, I’d say he winced. He still got a stronger boarder which was something he was wanting (cause Canada is the problem /s) but obviously the trade deficit didn’t change.
We’ll truly know if he is blinking if he follows through on the tariffs in a month. I just hope Canada (and others) wake up and realise they can’t depend on the US anymore. They should diversify themselves as much as possible as quickly as possible
The increase in border security spending was announced back in December. The only real change announced today is that Canada will now stick the bogus title of Fentanyl Czar on someone. Oh, and the fact that Canadians now will actively avoid any American products. Great job mango Mussolini.
Oh interesting, didn’t know about that. So Trump can pretend he made a deal that was already done just by getting Canada to throw in ‘Fentanyl Czar’. What a deal maker /s
Hope Canada continues to avoid American products and diversifies who they supply their exports to
And… Trump blinked.

Yup, my understanding is that Mexico’s “deal” was the same. They’d already made those commitments very early on in the “negotiations”.
This whole ease off of tarrifs has just been Trump backing down and announcing the things he already had. You can never lose when every loss is a win.
I think prince andrew has free time on his hands.
Border.
And he didn’t get a “stronger border”, he got Canada to pretend to take a non-problem seriously.
That’s fair, for him it’s a win but in reality it doesn’t actually fix a problem since there wasn’t one to begin with
Myself and a lot of other Canadians have already started avoiding American goods, even before these tarrifs were set to go into place
Good on ya and keep it up!
For the record, a trade deficit is not a bad thing, Trump is just obsessed with it because he’s an idiot.
Very true, it’s a symbiotic relationship (or was anyway, the bigger party has changed it’s mind)
I can’t wait until Trudeau makes an innocent joke and Trump bans him from his communities.
