U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he will temporarily waive tariffs on products from Mexico that fall under the North American free trade agreement, two days after launching a continental trade war.

The announcement did not mention Canada, which is also facing sweeping tariffs on all goods entering the U.S., despite Trump’s commerce secretary saying earlier that both countries would “likely” see a reprieve. It came shortly after Trump levelled new attacks against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following a heated exchange Wednesday.

“After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement,” Trump wrote on Truth Social following a scheduled call between the two leaders.

I'm sure this is an effort, in part at least, to drive a wedge between the democracies targeted by this administration. Don't lose sight of who our enemies are. Viva Mexico! Death to America!

If you’re suggesting that Trudeau bangs Malania then I think this would exceed the peek of his father’s diplomacy.

I wouldn't wish that on poor Trudeau, the guy's been doing quite a good job this week.

He saw that Canada's economical troubles has hurt Trudeau's approval ratings and pushed the vote towards the Conservatives. He thinks that damaging Canada's economy more will create a movement to join the US.

How severely misguided. He clearly didn't see how the very suggestion of the US annexing Canada has resulted in a huge change in the polls. Canada will bite the bullet and go through the pain of rearranging its economical supply chain and partners long before they allow themselves to be ruled by that moronic tyrant.
