Trump delays some tariffs on Mexico and Canada for one month - eviltoast

President Donald Trump on Thursday signed executive actions that delay for nearly one month tariffs on all products from Mexico and Canada that are covered by the USMCA free trade treaty, a significant walkback of the administration’s signature economic plan that has rattled markets, businesses and consumers.

The executive actions follow a discussion Trump held Thursday with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and negotiations between Canadian and Trump administration officials.

    And what did Trump get in return for his massive concession? Anything? What’s the point of a trade war if you back down at the slightest bit of pressure? What a fucking dunce. This whole thing is unbelievably stupid.
