Is the trade war over before it even started?

President Donald Trump said he agreed to “immediately pause” tariffs on Mexico for a month after a conversation with the country’s president Claudia Sheinbaum, who he said will send 10,000 soldiers to the border with the US. This comes as Trump is set to hold another call with Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later today as tariffs to that country still loom. Over the weekend, the president announced extraordinary new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, and the leaders of all three countries had announced retaliatory measures. The 25% US tariffs on Mexico had been set to take effect at midnight ET.
