Did Canada, Mexico and China just win the trade war?

Trump just said he will not impose his promised tariffs on Canada, Mexico or China. And I think it is because he knows it would be a war he couldn’t win. Cheers!

    Mexican and Canada already agreed to the conditions to get rid of the tarriffs....secure boarders. 

    I am not current of the China stuff...

    They did have a border security agreement but Trump still kept going on and on about how he would impose tariffs on the day he is sworn in – well that day was today. Cheers!

    Trump uses everything he can for leverage as long as he can.

    So I guess now he is going to try the old – I’m going to re work the trade agreement leverage bit. He tried that in 2018 and got schooled by Canada and Mexico. Cheers!

    In less than 24 hours Trump has back flipped. He is now saying that on February 1st he will likely put tariffs that are around 25% on Canadian goods. He also said that he might put universal tariffs on all countries. Cheers!
