    Turdeau Bends the Knee

    Well, that didn’t take long. Earlier today I wrote about Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum caving in the face of US tariff pressures. Word has come out that outgoing Canadian Premier Justin Trudeau has bent the knee as well.

    There were indications that Turdeau wanted to open negotiations after Mexico folded earlier today. Around noon on the east coast several outlets noted that a call between the two leaders was in the offing.

    Turdeau released a statement about the proposed agreement.

    I just had a good call with President Trump. 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.  

    In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.  

    Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.

    Similar to the agreement with Mexico, there is a pause of 30 days before the tariffs go into effect so a more permanent deal can be reached.

    Up next, Denmark and Greenland. . .

    I’m sure you are all aware of the Tariff war taking place in North America as President Trump works to secure the borders of our country. He ordered that tariffs of 25% be implemented on imports from both of our neighbors, Canada and Mexico, to get them to secure their sides of the border.

    Well, the day before the levy was to go into Force, leftist Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has blinked. She agreed to move some 10,000 troops to the border area to help with security there.

    The agreement between Sheinbaum and Trump pauses the implementation of the tariffs. This short term agreement allows for more structured and detailed negotiations to occur. Hopefully this will lead to a permanent solution to the porous southern Border.

    The tariffs would have wreaked havoc with the Mexican economy. The US is Mexico’s largest trade partner with some $798 billion in bilateral trade. Last year, Mexico exported some $500.7 billion worth of goods to the US. That total is around 80% of all of Mexico’s exports. It’s also around a quarter of the total Mexican GDP of $1.8 trillion.

    I hope that Canadian Premier Justin Trudeau has as effective of advisors around him as Sheinbaum does. We all know he isn’t smart enough to figure this kind of thing out on his own. The Canadian dollar has already started to plummet in value vs the US dollar. The exchange rate has declined by 1.432% compared to its value 7 days ago.
