    So what happened:

    1. 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.

    2. 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
