Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Trudeau said Canada would deploy new technology and personnel along its border with the United States to stop the flow of fentanyl.

And from the NYT:

Mr. Trudeau, in his own social media post, described measures that were already being enacted under its $1.3 billion border plan, including the deployment of additional technology and personnel to “ensure 24/7 eyes on the border." He said the two countries would also establish a joint strike force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering.

So basically Trump got nothing but we all know that he and the Republicans will be crowing how Trump's genius tariffs plan worked.

I literally just spent an extra hour doing my weekly grocery order to make damn sure not a single item was sourced or made by anything USA. Now that I've gone through that effort, I won't be going back. I have no reason to believe Trump won't change his mind on a whim like usual anyways. If we all do our part in this way, even the rich will feel some consequences from supporting this madman.

He paused it for one month. We have 30 days before we're right back here again with his stupid demands. Stick to it. I'm with you.

Yeah, I do wonder what your government and companies are going to do moving forward. I mean it's a months reprieve with no guarantee of what this moron, his ignorant brain trust, and stupid congressional racists will actually do. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they seek to diversify their imports and mrkets just like China did with soy after his last rounds of stupid tariffs.
