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.

(6,385 posts)that there would likely be a "grace period" b/f tariffs were implemented? I guess maybe that was the plan all along i.e. throw shit at the wall and see what sticks - if it doesn't, delay to save face.
Also, "Trump says Canada would become 51st state 'if people wanted to play the game right':" Good grief, the arrogance and hubris of this creature is galactic.

Trumps friends buy the dip
Trump reverses course
This is the strategy
No doubt, many of his other manufactured crises were created for the same purpose, along with distracting us from his other crimes. Like the one where he is letting Eloon steal the nation's computer databases, along with everyone's personal information.
