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.

    Fuck that, stay strong, keep our counter tariffs going. Donald will just keep changing his mind and pushing us around otherwise.

      Completely agree. Both Trudeau and Ford have said they will keep going till all tariffs are removed, good on them. I say we do the same. Personally i’ll never go back to American products if I can help it.

      Either that or no tariffs but non-tariff measures stay in effect until the decision is permanent.
