Donald got outplayed by the Mexican president because Mexico had already agreed to send 15,000 troops to the border, even though he was boasting that 10,000 Mexican forces would be provided. The same can be said of Canada.
Canada agreed to do something they had already announced in December and had that personnel in place.
Justin Trudeau wrote on the Bad App:
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.
