Google Translate:
We had a good conversation with President Trump with great respect for our relationship and sovereignty; we reached a series of agreements:

1. Mexico will reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard immediately, to prevent drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl.

2. The United States is committed to working to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico.

3. Our teams will begin working today on two fronts: security and trade.

4. Tariffs will be paused for one month from now.

Is that bending the knee? On it's face, that sounds fair. Do I expect Trump to hold up any part of his end? About as much as I expect to wake up to a mid-20s Pamela Anderson each morning.

Fucking cowards
Trump is pursuing a chaotic far-right overthrow of existing US government norms and checks and balances, trying to destroy our way of life.
They aren't over. They are paused.

If we actually follow through, this is more of a win for Mexico since the smuggling of American weapons into Mexico is a real threat to them.

Let me get this straight.

Trump was going to impose tariffs against Mexico.

Mexico called Trump and told them they were going to do all these things.

Mexico was already doing all of that, so there's no actual change.

Trump agreed to do what he was already doing with regards to the boarder, so there's no actual change.

Trump pauses the tariffs, likely indefinitely.

And they're saying this is a win for Trump?

No, Trump got played.

I don't know how you can call that "bending the knee" but you do you weird ass gringo.

Thats definitely how American media is going to spin it.

Trump is tough on Mexico! Theyre putting guards at the border because theyre scared of his tariffs! Art of the deal!
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.

Assigning 10k workers to the border seems like bending to me. Unless they were already there and its just a shifting of some paperwork.
Sounds like things they were already doing

I'd agree if most of this country wasn't stupid and thought that this was some great hardball from Trump. A real "art of the deal" moment.

Itll probably be the same deal with Canada in time as the both of them are to reliant on the US for trade.

China though is another story since they dont need the US anymore ad much as people think. Same for Russia and most other BRICS country actually.

A pity our government has resorted to bullying our allies now to get ahead of their rivals nowadays.

Fait if so.
Mexico has only one or two gun stores in the entire country. Nearly all of the cartel's weapons are smuggled from the US. The importance of the US actually making an effort to reduce this smuggling cannot be understated from Mexico's perspective. Though I don't expect it to actually happen.

Fucking cowards. Appeasement is never good policy. Trump will look at this and then demand more next time. Then when they cave again it will be even more after that.

This. It's like they were already performing and action and continue to do the same thing and Trump declares that he'll pause it for them doing what they were already doing.

Should be easy to stop the gun smuggling, since it is mostly the US Government doing that.

Does the average person know any of those though? Or will they just see it as "Mexico gave [fake] concessions"

A lot of guns are smuggled up to Canada too. The US wants our countries to help protect your country but does nothing in return.

Canada already proposed border stuff and we were ignored.

I heard recently that tariffs for Mexico have been postponed. Not sure if that was due to this arrangement but it could happen for Canada also.

If whatever demands the US have are meant then perhaps itll keep being kicked down the curve until its eventually memory holed. But who knows.

I mean, only 0.002% (or was it 0.02%?) of the discovered fentanyl smuggling comes from people crossing the border illegally.
85% of it comes from US citizens that crossed it legally.

So I can't wait for media to paint it as a big hit against fentanyl.

This doesn't seem much like "bending the knee"

And what the fuck is up with chuds using that phrase?
Pragmatism says "Let the idiot think he's won", Trump has always been a tool in the end (Not that being a puppet absolves him of anything).

Granted there's also the issue of him getting it into his head that bullying our allies works. But as of right now, it's good that he isn't going to self destruct the market right way. At least when it comes to goods from Mexico.

Though I'm sure prices will go up regardless.

It would be if those workers were not already going to the border. The plan was set under Biden Trump's just taking credit for it.
