Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday U.S. President Donald Trump will hold off on levying tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days after Canada made a series of commitments to improve security along the border.

The country can let out a collective sigh of relief β€” at least for now.

To get Trump to shelve his punishing tariffs, Trudeau said Canada is reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel and stepping up its co-ordination with American officials to stop the flow of fentanyl.

That $1.3B wasn't demanded or promised today. They did it preemptively in mid-December to avoid this whole situation.

They committed $200M and bunch of drug/border theatre today. Basically just allowing Trump to save face for caving.

I guess we'll know who caved depending on whether the fucker applies tariffs for real in a month or not.
