Donald Trump: Great traders that dry in Canada? Or a gullible snack that is overwhelmed by the old promises, repacked with fresh color?
Trying to follow the Washington reaction to Tariff pause Between Canada and now, you could give you drilling.
The reaction here is polarized as politics. Right, Trump is a negotiating genius who has achieved great victories. On the left, he is a self-hired vacuum cleaner who desperately wants to declare a victory. Just look at the meetings of MPs on Wednesday at Capitol Hill, where the legislators served a wonderful different need to journalists, depending on their party.
“The days of America walk everything – my friends, these days are gone,” said Lisa McClain, president of the Republican House Conference. “In the second week of Trump, President of the Treaty with Canada and Mexico show his effectiveness.”
This pirate praise went through the Republican Washington, and Trump’s assistant Peter Navarro Crowing in the panel with Politico: “The art of agreement … Trump confidence. He earned it.”
Asked about the 30-day break of US President Donald Trump about tariffs on Canadian slave, the print secretary of the White House of Karolina Leavitt told CNN: “Canada bends the knee, just like Mexico.” But Pat Ryan, a democratic Congressman of New York, said, “Trump rolled.”
You will be shocked to hear that Democrats disagree. The internet is similarly full of Memes mocking the Trump for the emergence for a Sucker agreement.
“He retired for a reaction from the stock market, the reaction of the American people,” said Ted Lieu, Vice President of Democrats. “Basically, Canada and Mexico do what they said they would already do. So, in essence, Donald Trump simply folded.”
Some Canadians are eager to get into a party. Comments of NDP MP Charlie Angus even made a title In the Capitol Hill newspaper: the Canadian legislator on Trump’s tariff tariff delay: “He was choking.”
Here’s a painful truth: Most people in Washington have almost no idea about Canadian border policy and do not know what they are talking about. This is emphasized by the fact that even Canadians who spent their careers working on these issues for details about this agreement.
With US President Donald Trump’s tariffs against Canada for 30 days, the federal government now faces pressure to find solutions and permanently avoid tariffs.
Canadian job contains significant changes
Learned more after the announcement late on Tuesday intelligence order Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who establishes several changes in politics.
The general reaction of several Canadian experts with interviewed by CBC News can be summed up in three steps.
First, these changes are significant. Second, there is a long -term flaw that could still interfere with criminal persecution. Third, Trump forced the action.
“I haven’t seen anything like this for decades. There are some significant initiatives,” said Calvin Chrustiie, a former RCMP supervisor in Vancouver who explored transnational crime networks in cross-border cases.
“After a decade, plus US frustrations and concerns expressed in discreet, diplomatic and low profiles … [this has] brought Canadians to the table to have serious, significant and significant conversations about national security, public security and economic security. “
What was less agreed is whether Trump burned more land than he had to do. Was it unnecessarily destructive; Could he achieve the same thing without threat or, at least, giving up threats a few weeks ago.
The viewers released the Boos Choir on Saturday while singing the American anthem during the domestic NHL match between Senator Ottawa and Minnesota Wild on Saturday, which is an obvious reaction to US President Donald Trump’s decision to start a trade war with Canada.
Was it really had to get to the point that Canadians were Raising a star of sliced banner at sports events, promise retaliated revenge And looking a market sale??
“I don’t know,” said Stephanie Carvin, a former analyst at the Canadian intelligence service, CSIS -U -UA professor at Carleton University. “That’s unhappy.”
What is clear, he says, is that Canada was supposed to act a long time ago. He says the country has problems with international criminal groups, money laundering and fental, despite the often repeated status that drug busts are rare.
It is equally clear that Trump’s pressure played a role in Ottawa’s late action: “If anything could accelerate things.”
What happened: time line
Trump’s bleeding caused anger in Ottawa, and most Canadian moves made a few weeks ago. In the midst of an ugly few days, Ottawa announced some additional measures.
Here’s what the time tape shows.
Trump originally threatened huge tariffs to Canada and Mexico In November, citing migration and whip of fentalis at the border.
When TRUDEau and several ministers met with Trump in Mar-a-Laga later that month, he clarified That fentanil was his main priority.
In a few weeks, the Canadian government announced a number of changes. She stroked migration and visa. It provided $ 1.3 billion in border measures including new helicopters, and announced legal and regulatory changes in the fight money washing. Suggested the so -called police in Canada strike and 24-hour border monitoring.
Trump’s team even publicly celebrated These changes. But he personally did not move. The tariffs were still on and were in effect on Tuesday.
Trudeau said that he couldn’t even get a phone for days. Finally, the president agreed to talk to both of the leaders of North America on Monday, the day before the tariffs needed to strike.
Trudeau added some final sweeteners: Canada would appoint a new Fentanil Car, cartels on the list of terrorist organizations and published a new intelligence policy. And that was enough for Trump to declare a 30-day stop on tariffs.
This intelligence order determines the fight against Fentanis as a priority for the Canadian intelligence community, with $ 200 million funding.
Orders the Canadian Agency for Electronic Intelligence to monitor and disrupt cross -border medication surgery; coordinates of multiple police, boundaries, intelligence and other agencies in one center; Agency requirements work with each other and American colleagues; and warns of action in silos.
These silos are a problem.

Mana in plan
There permanent source of frustration In the implementation of the law, with the battle of Canada to use intelligence materials in criminal persecution, due to the bulky process that requires Supreme Court decision.
Chrustie regrets that one name of the department was missing from Novi Trudeau’s new center of Canadian organizations that will unite intelligence: the Ministry of Justice.
“There is still a gap in conversation,” he said. Carvin agrees, “We didn’t solve this problem.”
What could help in Trudeau’s order, she says, is that she sets Canadian signal intelligence service, known as the uprising of communication security, within the same center as the police and border agency, which she said could be useful in preventing a criminal plan .
As for the use of this intelligence in court cases, he says, Canada needs a new law. Others say it could be even harder than that and it might require constitutional amendment.
After examining Trudeau’s national safety order on Wednesday afternoon, former Canadian intelligence chief says he looks serious.
“They have not left any stone. And they want to ensure that people see the border south as a positive sign,” said former CSIS director Ward Elcock. “It’s not insignificant.”
But is it significant enough to guarantee transcontinental psychodrama? Maybe not. “Are these huge gifts to the United States? Not really,” Elcock said.
With Chrustie’s view, Trump deserves to be a merit for the urging the much needed change. Even if the Canadians are furious to the president’s behavior, Chrustie predicted that it would lead to a better North America in the long run.
“Not everyone you fight are not your enemy,” he said. “And not all who help you friend.”
