    the US. can never again be trusted with any agreement or deal

    This already holds true now. The trade agreement between the US and Canada is the one that he signed. He went back on it anyway. And then after you guys appeased him by dedicating $1.3 billion to a nonexistent fentanyl issue, he did it again.

      I’m going to assume you’re not Canadian due to the “you guys” part and let you know that the $1.3 billion was already agreed to with Biden and was pre-allocated specifically for border control purposes at the end of 2024.

        Sad to say, I’m an American.

        And yes, I did know that. But it’s my understanding that this was agreed to in an attempt to pre-emptively appease an incoming Trump administration, but I could be wrong on that part. But whether or not that’s the case, Trump still originally agreed to not put the tariffs in place because of this, until he changed his mind.

      I don’t entirely mind that initial effort to just show how utterly fruitless playing by their rules are, and that this has nothing to do with fentanyl at all.
