I suspect these announcements by Trump are nothing but stock market scams with a whole bunch of insider trading going on.
Trump removed tariffs from Mexico and Canada after a few days. We'll see what happens with this
He's put back the 25% tariffs on Canadian steel
Yeah but that's all we have lol
He removed them for nothing. He was tricked. Both Canada and Mexico agreed to do things they were already going to do and Trump folded.
USian here. It really didn't matter - his friendly media repeated the lie that he forced those bad old countries to beef up drug and immigration enforcement via his big strong negotiation style. The fact that it's nonsense has no bearing on the political reality here, sadly.
there were stock market movements based on what Trump said
people who have insider knowledge would be able to make a lot of money on that
they were not removed, they were paused for 30 days, let's check back in 3 weeks, eh?
