Trudeau caves: Tariffs on Canadian goods on hold for a month, Trump says

45

Hours after Mexico met President Donald Trump’s terms for helping to secure the southern border, the 25% tariffs that were go go into effect on Canadian goods have been postponed after a few conversations were held with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday. Canada agreed to fight the fentanyl trade and crack down on organized crime in partnership with the United States.

“Canada has agreed to ensure we have a secure Northern Border, and to finally end the deadly scourge of drugs like Fentanyl that have been pouring into our Country, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, while destroying their families and communities all across our Country,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social page.

“Canada will implement their $1.3 Billion Border plan, and as per Prime Minister Trudeau, will be, “reinforcing the Border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are, and will be, working on protecting the Border. In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the Border, launch a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl, and we will be backing it with $200 million,” Trump wrote. “As President, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of ALL Americans, and I am doing just that. I am very pleased with this initial outcome, and the Tariffs announced on Saturday will be paused for a 30 day period to see whether or not a final Economic deal with Canada can be structured. FAIRNESS FOR ALL!”

  1. That border plan sounds familiar. Oh wait, same border plan Canada announced on their website back in December. Sounds more like Trump caved.

    • Please read what was written about the previously announced plan and then the part that say “In addition,”. The “In addition,” means what follows is new and was not a part of the previously announced plan.

      As Trudeau said “In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the Border, launch a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl, and we will be backing it with $200 million,”

      Reading is fundamental.

    • Yep. These folks on here really really need some sort of hope. They dream it up so they can sleep nights while their madman tweets away with the launch codes firmly in his grasp. He really want to kill a country. Still mad over impeachment 2.0

  2. What about Alaska’s border with Canada? Haven’t heard Gov. Dunleavy blame our crime capital of USA starlts on that, yet…

  3. Canada and Mexico now see the light. America wins again.
    Those two countries are now finally kicking in to help with their sides of the borders. In the end all it took was one man.

  4. I don’t know what Pierre was thinking when he kept this kid. Bianca was better off with Mick. This little boy is a curse on Canadians.

  5. Ronald Reagan 1988 radio address:
    “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.”

  6. It amazes me that people are so stupid. No, Canada didn’t cave, Mexico didn’t cave, and the US didn’t cave. This is HOW the GAME is PLAYED. Trump gave an ultimatum: do something, or there will be consequences, if necessary. Once these countries realized he meant it, they conceded in some areas. Over the next month, negotiations will continue. The US will try to get more cooperation out of them, and they will try not to promise too much. But the US has more from these countries than we did before.

    • No Trump caved, when Trudeau announced th $1.3 billion package, he said. They’re already seeing results that plan was already put in place under Biden. That’s why they’re already seeing results. Because fentanyl is a problem up in Canada too, and they want to nip it in the Bud. But here comes Trump trotting along taking credit for something that he did absolutely nothing about. It’s so bad with Trump that even Fox News His bread and butter is turning on him now.

      • Greg,
        Are you saying that Justin Trudeau was lying when he announced the new commitments in addition to the previously announced plan?

  7. Trudeau calls Sheinbaum:

    Trudeau: “So I offered him what we’re already doing and he dropped the tariffs!”
    Sheinbaum: “OMG…Same!”

    • Yeah, except that’s not what happened at all.

      It’s sad how unhinged the left has become lately, making up quotes about things that never happened and completely disregarding the actual quotes by those who actually said them. I guess when reality strikes it strikes those who have never been tethered to it the hardest.
