8,000 of the 10,000 Mexican troops are tied to cartels.........😉

Sounds like an agreement has been reached for now. Canada will take measures to secure its border and fight cartels and terrorists. We have the safest borders in history without one tariff being implemented. China could be more difficult but Mexico and Canada were easy. You mess with Canadian oil and they have nowhere else to ship it to as nobody can refine it. If they want to push the issue they will lose bigly.

Trump caved because of the markets. Canada and Mexico sre doing nothing they weren't already doing, but I'm sure trump will declare victory.

I seem to recall reading something about Mexico and Canada each sending 10,000 troops to defend the borders?  And that the tariffs are only suspended for 30 days, pending results.

Right wing spin. Mexico committed to 10k troops at the border. Not new troops. They already have 13k there.

Which would bring us to that 2nd part.  It's only a 30 day reprieve, pending results.  If they're still assisting the migrant caravans, we'll be right back at tariffs.  They have 30 days to clean up their act.

10,000 Mexican troops on the border is not the good thing some people think it is. In 1990s, the Zetas came from "elite" Mexican army commandos and went on to become the country's most powerful drug cartel. Today, the army itself is directly integrated into cartel activity.

 

Quote

But above all, this has revealed a ton about Mexico's military. We've learned that despite being tasked with fighting the drug war, some of its soldiers sold weapons to the cartels. We've learned that they suggested - that the military suggests legislation, that the military keeps statistics on murders and that they run surveillance on airports. We found that they keep dossiers on politicians and environmental activists, anarchists and feminists. In one email, we found what military officials calls a counterintelligence operation against the bricklayers at a government project. There are millions of documents, as you said, but I think what is clear and what we find is that Mexico's military is involved in every major aspect of this country.

Results for what? Everything Trump says he got is already in place. The 30 days is just meat for the brainless MAGA cult so they'll think their orange buffoon leader has some power here.

"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted Monday afternoon on X that the pause would occur “while we work together,” saying that his government would name a fentanyl czar, list Mexican cartels as terrorist groups and launch a “Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering.”"

Sure. It's Trudeau giving a F U to Canadian citizens and not the ignoramus to the south. It was  Trudeau who approved the Trans Canada pipeline. You know, the one that doesn't cross into the USA.

 

You mean the one that was supposed to cost just under 5bn but as of latest has ballooned to 34bn.

"'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.'"

It's not real complicated to comprehend what tactics the President is doing to enhance the country's border security, it's only complicated for the Trump hating loser liberals and their obsession with seeing America fail under Trump. Pretty certain nobody wants or needs sanctions including 47 but the voters mandated Trump for this and absolutely for border security and an end to the fentanyl crisis. Trudeau needed some nudging and a kick in the teeth perhaps to get his border security plan he announced/promised in Dec 2024 after President Trump won the election BUT NEVER implemented and now has agreed to after the Trump Effect works it's magic as it so often does resulting in a big WIN for President Trump and all Americans and America

Yes indeed, and the President is on mission which is rooted in the resounding voter mandate he received to secure the border (among other Promises he's delivering on) and if the loser liberals can't handle President Trumps effective strategies he employs to deliver his mandate, the liberals can go cry some more, big whimpy tears and maybe get some of that anti-depression medication they love so much....it's going to be a rough 47 more months and even worse for the liberal losers when JD Vance takes over in 2029.

Yes, and it was all by design, and not to allow 13,000 murderers, 2,800 rapists and the 600,000 know criminal felon illegal aliens AND the 2M got-aways to enter the country to pick strawberries and cabbage. Don't need 10's of millions of criminal illegal aliens to pick crops, only in Biden/Harris regime is that a conversation amongst imbeciles and traitors.

Nope. Pissing off ones allies around the world just makes you look an arse, and will embolden the Chinese to take a mature lead in global trade - everyone needs global trade. Notice how the Chinese have totally ignored the orange kids 10% threats.

Good luck with that, Im sure Nixon, Reagan and Bush had the same good intentions, so for Trump's politics to succeed, maybe attack the problem from the other end? 

 

Treat the core of the problem, the users mental health, and why they choose recreational drugs.

 

Hollywood might have some obligations to in that matter, to not glorifie drugs how theh have done for centuries. A long shot,
