I feel like it’s just going to be round 1 of Canada and Mexico all over again. The pause for them didn’t make a difference. He said “let’s make a deal”, Canada and Mexico made a deal, and then 30 days later the tariffs began regardless.
No one is making deals this time because everyone knows they won’t affect the outcome. What is affecting the outcome is making threats. So either he just stubbornly waits it out, getting nothing in return before they happen anyways, or he chickens out and walks it all back.
