Trump: I've Reached a Deal With Mexico. The Tariffs Are Off.

When you deal with an adversary like Mehico you make them honor their part of the deal FIRST before you agree to anything. You can’t trust a criminal narco State.

Personally, I would have liked to see Mexico take some action first, before dropping the tariffs.

I just don't trust them...

[Guenevere]

Did he really say that?
I can’t find the quote.

[JudyinCanada]

So, the agreement AND a recent court decision says that illegals must remain in Mexico and be processed there. Hopefully that means that everyone in detention now can be sent packing back to Mexico and the place can be cleared out, saving taxpayers a lot of money.

[vannrox]

my guess is that everything will be back to “normal” after about three weeks, and more caravans will start to continue towards the USA. I know that it sounds so pessimistic, but seriously, I’ve heard all this before.

It sounds like a RINO announcing promises of “victory” after the next election.

[Oldexpat]

We should change our court and hearings to last on first out. Take new arrivals and jail them and bring them to court within twenty days. Then put them on a plane home.

[sphinx]

Sounds good on paper. I am skeptical that anything will actually change. Hope I'm wrong, but illegal immigration is now breaking all records, there is an international industry actively supporting it, and the international left sees this as their opening to finally take down the United States for good. The plan at this point is to stall for eighteen months and for the next Democrat president to throw open the borders and abandon even the pretense of immigration control.

We'll see what happens.

[momincombatboots]

I agree with you. This was a win for the corporate cronies who were screaming about the increasing prices of their shiny suvs.
Waiting to see the actual numbers, as this administration has seen illegal numbers higher than any other.. maybe several combined.

[I want the USA back]

The left will keep talking about the “tariff war” for the next 2 years.

[central_va]

Why is it acceptable to the Establishment that the average tariff every country we trade with is about 8%? Why is this ignored?

[bert]

If you pay attention you would know that the President is on the case. He is tending to the most egregious trading pardners.

The others will come along as a result

By the way, We will not go with out groceries because the Mexian tariff revenues did not materialize

[central_va]

We will not go with out groceries because the Mexian[sic] tariff revenues did not materialize

WTF does that mean? LOL

[spokeshave]

So all the anti-Trump words by Dems and rebel Republicans were for naught.

Not quite...it flushed out the dims, GOPe and others working to thwart the President.

[trebb]

I imagine that he demanded a signature and made it clear that reneging will cause immediate institution of tariffs which will grow and stay in place until they truly get their act together. President Trump has more leverage against other nations than Reagan had against the pusillanimous dems...then and now....

[Kaslin]

You obviously do not have any confidence on President Trump. You think he would just say:' oh well, I tried'?

Shame on you.

[Democrats hate too much]

Romney’s peanut brain is going to lose it.

[ConservativeMind]

“I want you to take a message back” to the White House, Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, told the attorneys, according to people familiar with the meeting. “You didn’t hear a single yes” from the Republican conference. He called the proposed tariffs a $30 billion tax hike on Texans.

The poster is obviously a Ted Cruz hater, and thinks because TC was born in Canada he was not qualified for the presidency. Totally ignoring the fact that Ted Cruz's was a natural born citizen who was born and raised in Delaware which made him qualified for the presidency.

I never had anything against Ted Cruz but I did not vote for him in our TN Primary on March 1st 2016. I voted for a different candidate

I voted for Donald Trump in the general election.
