Mexico got a 30 day reprieve by promising 10k Mexican national guard on the border. Trick is that they apparently already have between 10-15k there, so it is already met. The US claims they’ll limit gun smuggling, but with Muskler firing everyone, doubt.
Canada got a 30 day reprieve by promising a 1.3 billion dollar border package, and some kind of nebulous Fentanyl Czar. Trick is that the border package was announced six weeks ago and is already partially implemented, irrespective of the tarrifs. Fentanyl czar is needed for internal issues and is more about removing an attack point for Poilievre and the CPC.
Basically, Trump caused Wall St to lose 600 billion dollars in one day and permanently damaged the US economy(Canadian and Mexican resources are now being workshopped on being permanently routed to other countries) for literally nothing
Trump repeatedly bragged and blabbered about the incoming tariffs on a daily basis ever since his inauguration but refused to have a phone conversation with Justin Trudeau until yesterday, one day before the implementation of retaliatory tariffs.
And then immediately after that phone call he he lifted the tariffs because Trudeau “agreed to make efforts to target the smuggling of fentanyl across the border” (the Canadian border counts as only 0.2% of fentanyl seizures in the US).
All of this nonsense appears to have been nothing but theatrics to give Trump the image of a “tough hardball negotiatior”. All he managed to achieve instead is destroy any trust American allies had in them.

This was the russia’s goal the whole time. They put trump in power specifically to damage the US state and kill americans and that’s what he’s going to do.
The problem with saying everything is Russia’s fault, and Trump has no agency, is that you can only still beg the US to be your friend instead of getting closer to Russia. If not “Putin Derangement Syndrome” it is CIA brainworm/misinformation to force your loyalty to hatred against Russia, and somehow, the empire directly threatening war against you makes a better friend.
There is a massive insider trading opportunity if you know currencies will go up and down 3% based on toddler tantrums. Currencies can be traded at high leverage if one wants to, and is certain of outcomes.
And then immediately after that phone call he he lifted the tariffs because…
The only reason he changed his mind is because his allies didn’t like the policy, and started to act against him. This has no relation to any negotiation, protest, or anything else.
what happened now?

Typical Trump negotiation outcome.

Trump delayed the huge tariffs he announced on Mexico and Canada after they both made some token gestures to assuage his ego.
