Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday U.S. President Donald Trump will hold off on levying tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days after Canada made a series of commitments to improve security along the border.
The country can let out a collective sigh of relief — at least for now.
To get Trump to shelve his punishing tariffs, Trudeau said Canada is reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel and stepping up its co-ordination with American officials to stop the flow of fentanyl.
He basically just got “solutions” (read: cheap theatre) to two completely imaginary problems. The banking thing is nonsense that he made up and US banks don’t even want.
Trump caved, Trump lost. It was pretty apparent he was caving earlier today when the White House starting calling this whole thing a misunderstanding – and when Mexico agreed to do something they’ve already been doing for two years so Trump could spin it as a win.
So if the banking thing is nonsense why did he bring it up twice?
He is dumb as a bag of nails, but when he tells you what he wants, believe him.
He also said that Canada is unfair and doesn’t take US agricultural products:
It’s nonsense. He’s just making shit up. US Banks are already here doing what they want to do here: lending and investment. He’s talking about having branches for personal banking. It’s seriously just some bullshit he made up.
