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

Canada already proposed border stuff and we were ignored.

To be fair, so did Mexico, as evidenced by the fact that these 10,000 troops they promised had been negotiated under the Biden administration.

It's all the more likely that Trump would wait for the threat of tariffs to be active and then he can pull them saying that they got him concessions. Assuming that Canada is willing to negotiate given the fact it's an election year and anything seen as capitulating to Trump could have massive implications.

This seems like this deal could have been struck just with a friendly text back and forth without the need of threatening the massive trade agreements we rely on as a political tool.

But maybe that's why I'm not president.

Do we have a link for that? I remember it being discussed last year at some point, but don't remember numbers

It's all grandstanding to keep the "tough and firm" public image Trump loves to have. Biden shows you can do it "behind closed doors" so to speak, since he negotiated these changes with Mexico a while ago already.

Trump is pursuing a chaotic far-right overthrow of existing US government norms and checks and balances, trying to destroy our way of life.
Basically promised things they were already planning on doing and got tariffs delayed. Trump got played.

Unfortunately this will be reported as Mexico making an unprecedented move and that the border, which already has thousands of guards, is now finally safe. Nevermind that the only ones dumb enough to try driving across the border with drugs are US tourists.

Validate your purchases and discredit the purchases of others whenever possible. Numbers objectively define quality and enjoyment.
Through a search I've also seen that Biden tried to tighten border security at Mexico even further only mid-last year, and guess who he got blowback from? The Republican party.

Because they wanted to take credit for it.

Look how big and strong daddy looks now!

CE cannot grasp tone. So, to be clear, Trump will never look big and strong because he looks like a wax statue of a piece of shit that was left out in the sun
I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

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

And what the fuck is up with chuds using that phrase?

This is not bending the knee or appeasement. Trump got basically nothing back for a 1 month delay. He clearly got spooked by the clear hit this was going to cause to the auto industry.

In the short term, nothing will happen

In the long term, this will significantly hurt America as every other country is going to look elsewhere to forge future trade relationships.

Good job dumbass.

The president of Mexico was actually able to talk to Trump? He pretends he isn't home whenever Trudeau calls.

Unfortunately, it's a win for Trump. Even if Mexico didn't bend the knee, it will be reported as a win by right-wing pundits. His supporters will not do the reaearch to see otherwise. Prepare to see a lot of people online saying tariffs work and Trump's a genius.

As someone with family in Mexico who crosses the border regularly, there really does need to be better security. Half the time, when I cross into Mexico, my documents arent checked and they dont even look at me, or check my car. I could be carrying anything or anyone and they wouldnt know.

Thanks. I was making assumptions based on the fact that Trump had refused to talk to Trudeau since taking office up until today. My bad.

CSP knows how to deal, perhaps? #47 dropped the demand that Mexico support ICE

It is a face saver for #47. Everyone in the US has made plans assuming free trade. Those fascists got lots of flak from people they need to listen to.

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.

Too bad nobody who needs to realize that will take anything away from this aside from "Trump's so smart. Art of the deal! MAGA!"

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

nope. even my walmart still sells ammo for long rifles, and while i can't specifically search for ammo on their app because it's one of those things that they just don't show on their website anymore, i can search for other things in that section like pellet guns.

Hey that's not true, Mexico pledged to reduce the number of troops they have at the border from 15,000 to 10,000.
