Is this the walk back of the tariffs that Lawrence predicted last night? [View all]

According to Aaron Rupar, the Trump administration is already walking back the Mexico/Canada tariffs.

On FAUX: Lutnick: "Both the Mexicans and the Canadians were on the phone with me all day today trying to show that they'll do better, and the president is listening because he's very, very fair and very reasonable. So I think he's gonna work something out with him."

So, this is all a stupid power trip to make trump look "strong"? Get the other side to grovel, as they are trying to do with Zelensky? Or just lie and say that the Mexicans and Canadians are backing down, knowing the corporate media will run with it?

I can see trump announcing some kind of big 'win' tonight.
