US pausing tariffs to Mexico & Canada for a month

Biden secured help from Mexico without risking our markets. He simply sat down with them and negotiated like a real adult. It's ok to admit that Trump is inept here.

That $1.5 billion in smart technology security for the border Biden negotiated, really paid off in stopping the flow of illegals crossing the border, didn't it?
 
Trump won over both Mexico and Canada here while also dismantling usaid and now the dept of education. Support to certify the remainder of his leadership team seems pretty much assured and will likely happen in the coming days as well.

This might be the strongest first month of any president in us history.
 
So the only thing I've seen him say about borders and fentanyl is an interview last night, well after he already threatened the tariffs.

So, I guess, close to thousands.
From November:

The president-elect posted on social media Monday that on his first day in office he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada until those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States


Why is this so hard for some of you to do your own research

Damn, thank you, finally someone provides a source.

"Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is currently giving her morning news conference, in which she is detailing the phone call with Trump that appears to have led to today's agreement.

The Mexican government clearly sees this as a victory.

After discussing fentanyl and the deployment of additional Mexican National Guard troops to the border, Sheinbaum says she "explained the seriousness of high-powered weapons arriving to Mexico from the US" and into the hands of criminal groups.

"It gives them firepower," she adds. "We asked that the US also help our country by helping stop this arms trafficking...he agreed."

Among the most important elements, she adds, will be whether any disruption to the flow of weapons brings down violence in Mexico, and whether drug trafficking can be disrupted.

"We have this month to work and convince ourselves, among everyone, that this is the best path," Sheinbaum adds. "High-level dialogue will help. It's good news that [the tariffs] are paused.

She says, however, that they've "saved" their "plan B" - in case tariffs do eventually happen - "for now".

She played him like a fiddle.
 
Again, how did Joe get a $1.5 billion deal without tanking our markets first?
Apparently, Biden’s deal didn’t work. 😉
Ohhh but that's the irony here. Most pushing against spending all of that money on a big beautiful wall have been fine with a modernization of border patrol/control, including more policing, drones, etc. (which is essentially the point of the Biden article Huey linked above). So Trump is now asking for the same thing, while still not getting his steel wall paid for.
The wall will get built during Trump’s 2nd term.

Lol so trump claiming victory because Canada is implementing what they already announced 12/18/24?!? Hahaha what a idiot. Glad we almost imploded the economy for it.




Performative bullshit is what DJT is all about at his core.
 
So we put out tariffs -

To bring back jobs to the US - they last 48 hours

Extreme backlash in the markets

Mexico states we will put a few troops on the border

Tariffs pulled back.

This is Dumb. Using tariffs is an extreme way to do business. Utilizing them for tit for tat negotiating is extreme overkill. It will take a beating on confidence in the market.
10,0000 is not a few troops. Why is it bad that they are doing their part to help enforce the border?

Thats not my argument, figure out what the really issue is. And immigration isn't it. This is all a power move by trump using a blunt force tool, that if used causes more harm. Hence why as soon as the market tanks . . . he caves.

This is why Trump has been repeatedly proven to be a terrible deal maker, but a great con artist.
What’s the metric Mexico will be measured by in 30 days? Trump put a timeline on himself when normally he gives the vague, “In a few weeks/months”, word salad.
He got played today, but the rubes lap it up. The question remains, what happens in 30 days? Another 30 days? Then, another?
Well, I assume Mexico tariffs won’t happen in 30 days as long as Mexico lives up to the terms of today’s agreement. 🤔

Just exposed, flailing lying leftists spewing propaganda

He didn't cave. The President of Mexico offered to help reinforce the border with 10,000 troops. The border has been the issue.

I don’t know if a 600 point DOW drop is “tanking”, but even if your scenario is true…at least Trump had the common sense to reverse course. 😘

I have no doubt more of a wall will get built, that doesn't change the fact that Trump failed on the promise last term that Mexico would pay for the wall. So the criticism as to whether Mexico fully performed under its agreement with Biden rings hollow compared to that swing and a miss by Trump.
