So the Mexican cartels have decided that they want to play games and win big prizes.
They might actually find out. They have already started taking pot shots at federal agents on the north side of the river.
I believe that we might just have that moment when Mexico remembers that they lost all the wars with the United States.
A bit further south, Rubio visited with the president of Panama. They contract with the Chinese company has been canceled, and it looks like the canal will go back to treating US ships with due respect.
The Governor of Canada is having a hissy fit. Seems that he doesn’t want to close the border to drug trafficking and unvetted terrorists crossing in to the rest of the US.
Instead, he has decided to call what he thinks is a bluff. A 25% tariff goes into effect this week.
Doubling down on stupid, Mexico and the great state of Canada have decided to impose tariffs on us.
As the Texas Governor put it, “Texas has a larger economy than Canada, and we are not afraid to use it.”
Have a fantastic week.

So as of 10am today, Mexico caved. 😉
Canada had two choices.
1. Tighten up their ports of egress and make it more difficult for drug runners to move product,
-OR-
2. Impose retaliatory tariffs on the US.
It says a lot about which choice they made.
And… not in that way. Canada likely thought this administration was just the same as previous ones. The US would rattle a saber, the other country would rattle theirs right back, and the US would fold.
Under this administration, that is a bit of a tactical mistake.
