Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Both Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said they had agreed to bolster border enforcement efforts in response to Trump's demand to crack down on immigration and drug smuggling. That would pause 25% tariffs due to take effect on Tuesday for 30 days, both leaders said.

Looks like the tariffs might already be dead.

Man this feels just like Trump 1 all over again, every ten days or so we get this news cycle where they promise a big thing and then they walk it back at the last minute. They're totally doing this on purpose to sow discord and they rarely follow through permanently with anything outside of ideological shit like their antiwoke crusade. As always, the safer bet is that nothing ever happens.

They’ll come to an agreement that is basically the status quo and Trump will go “ah ha I got Mexico and Canada to bow to my will! Art of the deal baby 🇺🇸🦅” and my bowling ball brained family will say “y’see that right theyre is why you want a buzness mayun laik truhmp in da White House boy! Like t’see sleepy joe try to pull that one awf!!”

I did forget how it was like in Trump's first term. There was a headline about some world changing shit almost every week.

100% guaranteed that the "problem" of the border will continue but Trump will say he fixed it regardless.

[–] dis_honestfamiliar 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The "problem" was made up to begin with. link

Indeed that's why it's in scarequotes

What are hysterical libs gonna do if Trump's second term just turns out to be a repeat of his first where he just gets bored and golfs most of the time and only does little subtle bad things?

[–] JohnBrownsBawdy@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago

Yeah he’s got all his horrific little eichmanns in government doing harmful shit and posting about it. He can just chill, play golf, shoot the shit, and do corruption.

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 22 points 3 days ago

he's probably going to pause them month after month so there's economic uncertainty i guess

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

he's not pausing the 10% tariffs on china btw

He described the 10% import taxes as the "opening salvo" and said they could become "very, very substantial" if no agreement is made.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 days ago

What "agreement" even is there? "Destroy your economy for us and get nothing in return or else we'll destroy our own economy and deal some damage to your economy in the process!"

How dare you.
