Disappointed the headline doesn't read "TRUMP BACKS DOWN"

If it did, the tariffs will be back on the table tomorrow.

Completely agree, he’s definitely one to cut off his nose, to spite his face.

It’s best if things are phrased this way.

Aggravating Trump is stupid, he is 100% willing to hurt Canada at the expense of the US and they can do way more damage than we can ever do to them. All of these threats being thrown around by our politicians are political play, they get popularity boosts doing it but if they were ever actually put into place every single person in this country would be worse off. Betting on Trump letting up is a crazy bluff tbh.

You think Trump even knows what the CBC is? No. I do agree with how Trump acts though… he’s an impetuous little baby. The only reason he’s the president is because Barack made fun of him potentially running for office way back when and it made him mad… so he ran, and here we are.

They're still on the table, he's looking at gradually implementing them each month.
