In Reversal, Trump Suspends Most New Tariffs on Mexico Until April 2

It's not a good look to make threats and not follow through on them. It sends a dangerous signal to people who we aren't on great terms with.

However, since I haven't been on the phone calls with them, or in the meetings with them and the Trump administration officials, it's impossible to give you a reason beyond a guess.

I did provide one measure of success and that is the reported numbers at the southern border. That COULD explain the change in policy with Mexico... But I don't know.
But Harris...
 
So are we going to keep playing this game of announcing tariff's and then suspending them for a month continually?

I'm sure he's got some idea of how he plays this as a victory. Something like "Mexico promised not to invade Texas, therefore I won"

We will keep playing for as long as his supporters continue to delude themselves.
 
Flip flopper Trump.

That's what TDS looks like.

GASP - Donald Trump wants to use tariffs to negotiate a political outcome! The horror!

MAYBE, and I'm just spitballing here... maybe Mexico is actively doing their part on their side of the border so for now, we are suspending the tariffs to make sure Mexico doesn't go back to the Biden era policies of matador defense on the US Mexico border?
Maybe, I'm just spitballing here, you voted for a guy who doesn't really know what he's doing to do some impossible things he promised and when most of what he tries fails to be implemented or is a big failure, you get to rationalize that as 4D Chess

You're not too far off, I did afterall vote for me... and I would have no clue what I'm doing as president, which doesn't make me all that different from those who have been president since about the Clinton era.
 
Do you think he's ignorant of how tariffs work, a deliberate lie, or something else?
Trump is ignorant on how they work. During the campaign he spoke on how the governments will just have to pay it, and the U.S. will make billions. I believe he had no comprehension that consumers pay the price on higher costs…you know, to offset the expense of the tariff?

This is the same guy that thought all these countries were sending us immigrants from their mental institutions, because he doesn’t know the word “asylum” has more than one meaning

…yeah, he’s pretty ignorant, unfortunately for us.
 
President Trump wrote on social media that he was suspending tariffs on most imports from Mexico until April 2. Mr. Trump announced the exemption, on goods covered by a trade pact he signed in his first term, after a call with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. The reversal came just two days after he imposed tariffs of 25 percent on goods coming into the United States from Mexico and Canada, sparking a trade fight with two of the country’s closest economic partners.

When observing a giant screw up my dad was fond of the saying, "It's like watching two monkeys trying to f**k a balloon".
That's what it's like watching Donald and Eloon run the US.
 
Maybe he'll explain it when the April deadline comes around next month.

What do you make of this part of Trump's statement: “After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement,”

Do you think he's ignorant of how tariffs work, a deliberate lie, or something else?
He is that stupid, and so are his followers.

I've done all the speculating I'm willing to do on this topic. I'm not the president, a member of his administration, or even a friend or confidant of his, and likely nobody here is either.

We're all either guessing or relying on what we're being told from someone else who also likely suffers from TDS.
Help me out here. Who pays the tariffs that Trump imposes on Mexico?

If Mexico complies 100% how are we paying for the tax cuts? I thought tariffs were supposed to be the catalyst to the new golden age? Or is it a strong arm tactic? Don’t we need these tariffs?🙄

No, that's why DOGE is getting rid of all the dumb ass liberal nonsense government waste fraud and abuse. Sorry the gays in Africa will have to buy their own condoms like the rest of us.

Imagine being so nose deep in Trump’s ass that THIS is where your mind goes. Not that Mr. Inject Disinfectants, Sir They’re eating the cats, President Transgender Mice is just a massive retard.
The only exercise Trump gets is when Sheinbaum walks him like a dog

You don’t seem to get it. The comments are geared towards the flipflopping. The whole tariff thing is stupid and playing out as such. You are being obtuse or just plain dumb about it….which is it?
 
This WH doesn't having a clue what they're doing.

Here and there, they have a random, qualified individual, but the vast majority are only in their position because Trump can control them.

Trump to Mexico "you're not doing your part on the border and you're letting in criminals, child traffickers, and drugs, clean it up or we are going to enforce a tariff."

Mexico to Trump "You're right, President Biden told us to stand down at the border and let all that stuff go, but we see it's a new day Mr President and we will add people at the border and do our part."

Trump to Mexico "Okay, that sounds good, but I need to see action, so for now I'll suspend the tariffs for 30 days."

Mexico to Trump "Thank you Mr. President, you can count on us"

It was the perfect call... so it's only a matter of time before articles of impeachment are drawn up over it.

Nice, now do Canada
 
Because tariffs are meant to be forever? They're only imposed because one can? There's no goal in doing it?
