Lmao. It's as I said, Trump creates a fake win for himself.
The "Canada deal" which has just been announced, it was already announced over a month ago, the exact same thing.
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.
Today, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs, along with the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship and the Honourable Ya'ara Saks, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions and Associate Minister of Health, released Canada’s Border Plan. Backed by an investment of $1.3 billion and built around five pillars, this plan will bolster border security, strengthen our immigration system and contribute to ensuring Canada's future prosperity.
The Government will also propose to the U.S. the creation of a new North American Joint Strike Force to target transnational organized crime.
Public Safety is coordinating the $1.3-billion effort to further strengthen the border, and disrupt illegal cross-border activity. In the coming weeks, the Government of Canada will further enhance real-time surveillance of Canada’s border and increase presence to support communities. We have already deployed 60 new drones along our border with the U.S., and will be deploying additional surveillance towers and purchasing new technology, such as x-rays, mobile x-rays and hand-held chemical analyzers.

The only new thing Trump managed to get was to designate the Cartels as terrorists and Canada making up some Fentanyl Czar, Lmao. I'd love to be paid to be that Fentanyl Czar...All this over 43 pounds of Fentanyl...Dude must be massively overpaid in relation to the significance of his job, Lol. Imagine being paid (I assume) tens of thousands to stop 43 pounds of Fentanyl
Damage is already done at this stage though, Canada will almost assuredly look for other partners in the future and the delay is 30 days, a delay for what? What will be the next bullshit reason he comes up to attack Canada with? What will be the next fake issue he creates to stroke his ego? I assume he'll go back to ranting about the "trade deficit" 30 days from now.
Trudeau wins here, he has delayed Trump's insanity for a month, it will give Canada more time to prepare, a 30 day delay for something Canada was already doing, Trump truly is a master negotiator. Although I don't think kicking the can down the road for 30 days is safe, Trump blinked this time but he'll eventually ask for something of actual substance the more we stroke his ego.
