Mexico and Canada persuaded President Trump to delay a threatened 25% tariff, hours before it was scheduled to take effect. On "The Daily," our reporters discuss the last-minute negotiations that headed off the crisis — for now.

The Orange Turd blinked. Fight the recess bully every day - no quarter given, no excuses accepted, no apologies allowed. All Churchill no Chamberlain. #americanrevolution
Canada announced the 1.3 billion border plan back in December. Biden got Mexico to send troops without threats of tarriffs and tanking the stock market. Border crossings are the lowest they've been in years and have been since b4 Biden left office
China Canada & Mexico say 🖕🏽 you Dump
As American goods are RIPPED from shelves they appease PUKE by giving him what they already had in place with Biden
Trump backed down, but his distraction worked. Musk infiltrated the Treasury & got access to private info. on millions of Americans, not to mention access to trillions of dollars, & everyone freaked out about some fake tariffs from the orange turd. I doubt he ever intended on enacting any tariffs.
Presumably foreign countries engage child psychiatrists to advise how to placate the Tariff Toddler; make meaningless "concessions" so he can brag that he won.
NO!! Do not reinforce bad behavior- he'll come back worse.
DON'T enhance his image at home as a "tough", effective leader.
CALL HIS BLUFF.
Except mob bosses actually get something for their threats. Donny got nothing but what was already going to happen, and he is supposed to do what the US had t been doing.
I'm glad Mexico and Canada were able to make Trump back down, but now D's along with leaders like @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schiff.senate.gov need to emphasize how weak Trump has made America look by ready, fire, aim trade policy. The point is to keep driving Trumps numbers down.
Lots and lots of donald waffle. Is this a drug action or a trade move? And do it all again next month. How are American companies supposed to plan investment when the economy depends on what donald had for breakfast?
they called his bluff and the trade deals were left unchanged, except Mexico got Trump to promise to police the gun trade from the US to Mexico more strictly, and Trudeau is appointing a border czar to coordinate cracking down on smuggling of fentanyl from the US to Canada.
This whole thing was about the stock market. He didn’t get anything new that Canada and Mexico didn’t already agree to do. So why did he change his mind? Hmmm???
He crashed the stock market which crashed the crypto market, for him to them buy up crypto shares for the markets to rebound and tRump making millions…
Fix your headline, this was manufactured by the orange fuhrer & your headline should reflect that. It wasn’t passive so you shouldn’t have a passive headline.
Canada just had to reiterate what they said they would do back in December to appease Trump's fragile ego and manhood, a typical bro. When I was a youngun "bros" were called "cry babies".
He likely was humiliated and got a reality check. Then they allowed him to save face. Expect more of this. Trump has no idea what he's doing and is being taken advantage of by criminals like Musk.
Not only did Trump cave, but he promised to more strictly police guns going across the border to Mexico, and got Trudeau to appoint a Fentnyl czar, but where's the fentnyl in Canada coming from? The US. The result is that they are going to get American help to stop drug smuggling INTO Canada.
WHY??????

He didn’t get anything of value, and he won’t keep his end of the bargain.
He won’t bring up tariffs again, either.

@crampell.bsky.social is way ahead of you and can explain to you that Canada and Mexico played Trump.
MSM is no longer an effective source for breaking news.
@crampell.bsky.social can actually explain what happened, including that Trump was played by Mexico and Canada.
NO!! Do not reinforce bad behavior- he'll come back worse.

To show obeisance...
To crawl at the feet of the American Emperor...

He got nothing
He lied again!
Trump got nothing, Mexico and Canada won.
They didn’t give in to anything. What are you talking about? This was a publicity stunt. Come on NYT.
Lol!
- have fake negotiations
- back down from your threats
- claim victory
- have the media report it
Canada and Mexico,
Pretend more troops. Really zero.
Trump thinks he won. But no.
Tariff troll got played? Bingo!
Bowing down to a dictator and reporting to keep the King happy just makes you our enemy.
