    The increase in border security spending was announced back in December. The only real change announced today is that Canada will now stick the bogus title of Fentanyl Czar on someone. Oh, and the fact that Canadians now will actively avoid any American products. Great job mango Mussolini.

      Oh interesting, didn’t know about that. So Trump can pretend he made a deal that was already done just by getting Canada to throw in ‘Fentanyl Czar’. What a deal maker /s

      Hope Canada continues to avoid American products and diversifies who they supply their exports to

        Yup, my understanding is that Mexico’s “deal” was the same. They’d already made those commitments very early on in the “negotiations”.

        This whole ease off of tarrifs has just been Trump backing down and announcing the things he already had. You can never lose when every loss is a win.
