Trump has suffered a humiliating defeat of his tariffs plan, with both Canada and Mexico now not being hit with these tariffs that would have mostly hurt US consumers. He has agreed to give them a 30-day reprieve while he consults with them over increased security measures at the border. What's the lesson here? Just talk to people. There's no need for threats that cause carnage on stock markets world wide. It just shows that keeping calm wins the day over Trumps' ridiculous bluster and childish theatrics.

You mean humiliating surrender by Mexico and Canada.

Next: European Union.

Trump didn't backflip looks like he got what he was asking for with border security.

Quote:

Justin Trudeau
@JustinTrudeau

I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — 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.

Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Surrender? Mexico vowed to match DL's tariffs - and more.

Who's a silly boy then?

…. Trump needs to think more carefully before blowing his trumpet!
So many have been hurt in the pocket already! It’s affected people from all corners of the globe.
It’s kind of shaken the confidence.
How does the future look?
America is already powerful in its own way and last thing it needs is a headless chook!
Any little change in the USA has a ripple effect on the rest of us.
A bull in a China shop does much damage!
Do I need to write to him to tell him that?

The value of crypto comes out of thin air and goes back to thin air at the slightest breeze.

Thin air

It takes a bit more nous than thin air.

Thin air = multi-billionaire pumping and dumping...

Yeah them whales!
I watch to see the patterns of where they’ve been… if only we catch them on way up to ride that wave!
But take heart, little folk like us have a chance too…
Now I’m not giving financial advice…
But maybe join up with Coinspot (I feel safe with them and they don’t charge huge fees)
Then look at XRP…. Big news …. I heard whispers that Trump thought crypto coins were a scam… then he and Mel and sons did well from their meme coins before inauguration.
So now Trump want to give better regulations for crypto and I heard, perhaps he won’t tax people making money off crypto.
But… here’s the latest… what is about to happen…
Join the ride with us mere little peons

Tariffs make US products more expensive for Canadians increasing this will lead to revolt in Canada.

Trump just got spit-roasted by Canada and Mexico, and MAGA are too dumb to even realise it.
