Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday U.S. President Donald Trump will hold off on levying tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days after Canada made a series of commitments to improve security along the border.

The country can let out a collective sigh of relief — at least for now.

To get Trump to shelve his punishing tariffs, Trudeau said Canada is reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel and stepping up its co-ordination with American officials to stop the flow of fentanyl.

    Shit or get off the pot Donald.

    I’m not going to get bothered waiting for him to go “oh just 30 more days, but now I want this” for 4 more years.

    To me, it’s already dead. You don’t put a gun to a friends head, say “give me your wallet, you know what, maybe I’ll kill you anyway, I’ve always wanted you dead, but here’s 30 days” then go back.

    You don’t treat friends this way. We can’t depend on America in any capacity anymore.
