It was never about the drugs or migrants. Trump himself said "nothing" Canada can do to prevent tariffs[1]

lol, this is just "paper" justification just like the whole Military plane debacle with LatAm countries.

Eventually Colombia still reject Military plane deporting immigrants, just like how Mexico said "Fuck you" when Trump sent military plane (this didn't make a huge news in the US)

Funny now that Mexico and Canada has come to the table the "end of the world" tariff's has been given a 30 day extension while they negotiate a better border agreement. This has always been about Canada and Mexico getting the better end of the deal Bill Clinton gave them, why would they negotiate until there forced to?

China is a different story I suspect the 35% tariff (25% Biden, 10% Trump) will stick.
