President Donald Trump announced that he’s pausing tariffs on Mexico and Canada after speaking to leaders of both countries on Monday — just hours before the sweeping actions were set to go into effect.
I think there’s something to be said for Trump delaying the Mexican tariffs, but keeping the Canadian tariffs in tact. Maybe someone in the Trump admin actually read a climate report and realized where all the arable land is going to be. Canadians should prepare for increased antagonism from the US while it fishes around for a casus belli. The Americans don’t want Mexico in the same way. At most they want a buffer zone in nothern mexico to stop climate refugees.

Didn’t he just delay the Canadian ones too?
Looks like he did.
