HuffPost published an article criticizing President Trump's decision to pause tariffs on Mexico and Canada, arguing that the agreement was not a strategic victory and that Trump supporters were celebrating a minor concession. The article also highlighted the financial newspaper's recent editorial criticizing Trump's justification for the tariffs.
“President Trump never admits a mistake, but he often changes his mind,” it started. “That’s the best way to read his decision Monday to pause his 25% tariffs against Mexico and Canada after minor concessions from each country.”
After suggesting all three leaders could “claim victory,” the article later added, “None of this means the tariffs are some genius power play, as the Trump media chorus is boasting.”On Monday, Trump agreed to a 30-day pause on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada as America’s two largest trading partners offered to take action on border security and drug trafficking.
