President Donald Trump commented for 30 days, huge definitions on Mexico and Canada that he threatened after the last minute negotiations with the American neighborhoods.
It can indicate concessions on the border and enforce crime as a victory. But Justin Trudeau of Canada and Claudia Xinbaum, Mexico, can demand political victories.
A commercial war that will send an economic shock across North America and beyond waiting – at the present time.
So whoever flashing first and what happens after that?
Trump's ingenuity seems to be fruitful
Written by Courtney Supramian, BBC News, Washington, DC
It seems that President Trump's high -level confrontation with the closest commercial partners of the United States has resulted in, as Mexico and Canada have agreed to the security security more stronger and take more steps to address trafficking in fentanel.
The strategy of benefiting from the American economy to impose concessions from other countries has achieved a victory over the Trump agenda “America first”, allowing him to follow the basic local issues without American consumers feel accused of the economic consequences of a continental commercial war.
Its identification book is barely new.
Trump's tariff for steel and aluminum during his first term prompted a violent reaction from Mexico, Canada and the European Union, but economists say that these measures were limited in the range.
This time, Trump promised definitions of goods from Mexico and Canada, and China, which is still ready to increase a 10 % tariff on goods that start at midnight on Tuesday.
But it is still unclear whether Trump will follow his threats to Canada and Mexico as soon as the deadline has ended for 30 days. This uncertainty raises concerns that companies that reduce their dependence on American markets, or adhere to investing in building new factories, or employing workers, can witness the commercial confrontation more clear.
The lame of Troodo inflammation pulled a commercial truce
Written by Jessica Murphy, BBC News, Toronto
This was not an explosion in January from the north – it was a widespread sigh of Canadian politicians and business leaders in a period of 30 days on American definitions.
While the threat of definitions remains, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau can demand a political victory: a temporary truce in what was a devastating trade war.
Canadian politicians were scrambling to find out what exactly satisfied Trump – the situation that local policy in Canada did not help, as Trudeau concluded his last weeks in power as prime minister lame.
The border security measures announced on Monday are not new.
In December, Canada announced $ 1.3 billion (900 million dollars; 700 million pounds) in the measures that included efforts to disrupt the fentanel trade, and new tools for law enforcement and augmented coordination with American law enforcement.
The Canadian drones and Black Hawk helicopters have recently started carrying out border patrols between the two countries.
Officials were martyred with these efforts for weeks to show that they are taking Trump's concerns seriously.
A new element seems to be the appointment of “Ventanil Caesar” and a $ 200 million intelligence guidance to combat organized crime and fentanel.
One of the remaining questions is what this means for the future of the relationship between Canada and the United States. The partnership between the allies was deeply shaken by Trump's economic threats.
Mexico SheINBAUM buy the same time
By will Grant, BBC Central America and Cuba Cuba, Mexico City
During this commercial crisis, President Claudia Shinbom called for “cold presidents” and “quiet”.
Until Friday, she said she was confident in postponing the last minute of tariffs by 25 % on Mexican goods. Thus, this was proven, after a phone call early with President Trump.
When the agreement was announced shortly after, she was barely able to wipe the smile from her face and supporters. They have seen what Masterclass on how to negotiate with Donald Trump.
Yes, she agreed to send the National Guard forces to the border to focus on fentanel Loop, but they decisively guaranteed the Trump she wanted as well.
In addition to what is clear-temporarily dependent on the definitions-Trump also made “promise” that the United States would do more to treat high-weapons traffic from the United States to Mexico, to prevent it from completing the Kartel arms armed.
But she also bought another vital commodity: time.
It now has several weeks to build on the agreed points in that phone call and convert temporary reservation on the definitions into a permanent one.
The expectation is that the Foreign Minister now Marco Rubio will visit Mexico soon to discuss these matters and a joint group will be created on Fintanel with Mexican Health and Security officials and the United States.
If Sheinbauum actually managed to prevent more hostile businesses, it will decrease as the first major victory for her new government, after she has been in office only since October. It may determine the tone of future interactions with President Trump and his management.
