Huh! Both presidents got what they wanted. Protecting their citizens and territory. This is a normal thing, don't think the usa can just bully any country anyhow. The Mexican have responded by deploying soldiers to the border for proper working💯

Botragelad:
It's flat-out frustrating that these folks know what's right, but instead they stir up unnecessary drama and controversy before taking action.

If tariffs weren't on the table, they'd still be dragging their feet. How about step up and do the right thing without needing a push.

Mexico has agreed to deploy 10,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in exchange for a one-month delay on President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday.

Sheinbaum made the announcement on social media Monday morning, roughly 12 hours before the tariffs were set to take effect. Trump and Sheinbaum spoke on Monday and agreed that Mexico will do more to combat drug trafficking into the U.S., and that the U.S. will step up efforts to block the flow of firearms into Mexico.

Sheinbaum also said officials with the U.S. and Mexico were beginning talks on wider trade and security issues.

Trump confirmed the deal in his own post on Truth Social, describing the call with Sheinbaum as a "very friendly conversation."

"I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican Soldiers on the Border separating Mexico and the United States. These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl, and illegal migrants into our Country," Trump wrote

"We further agreed to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs for a one month period during which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and high-level Representatives of Mexico. I look forward to participating in those negotiations, with President Sheinbaum, as we attempt to achieve a 'deal' between our two Countries," he added.

The deal comes just days after Trump announced 25% tariffs on both Mexico and Canada, as well as 10% tariffs on China. Trump says he spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday, but the pair did not reach an agreement. He says they will speak again later Monday.

The tariffs are set to take effect at midnight on Tuesday.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau slighted the U.S. by encouraging Canadians to "buy Canada" in response to the tariffs.

Security agents escorted the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Agriculture out of her office on Monday after she refused to comply with her firing by the Trump administration, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters[/b].

Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had earlier told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her Friday, saying that she didn’t believe the administration had followed proper protocols, the sources said

In an email to colleagues on Saturday, reviewed by Reuters, she said the independent Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time.”
Fong declined to comment.

The White House defended the firing of Fong and the other inspectors general, saying "these rogue, partisan bureaucrats... have been relieved of their duties in order to make room for qualified individuals who will uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy."

The USDA inspector general has a broad mandate, pursuing consumer food safety, audits and investigations of the Agriculture Department as well as violations of animal welfare laws. The USDA has been at the heart of concerns about bird flu, which has spread among cattle and chickens and killed a person in Louisiana.

In 2022, the inspector general’s office launched an investigation of Elon Musk’s brain implant startup Neuralink, which remains ongoing, sources said. In recent years, the office has also taken on animal abuse at dog breeders for research labs and the listeria outbreak at Boar’s Head, among other issues.

Musk spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars to help President Donald Trump get elected in November and has emerged as a key player in the president’s orbit.

Fong was among the 17 federal watchdogs fired by Trump on Friday in what critics described as a Friday-night purge. Speaking to reporters afterwards aboard Air Force One, Trump defended the move saying "it’s a very common thing to do." He did not say who would be installed in the vacant posts.

New York, CNN — Google is complying with President Donald Trump’s executive action that renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Soon, the name change will appear on Google Maps.

In a post on X, Google explained that it has a “longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.” The name will be tweaked when the Geographic Names Information System, a government database of names and location data, is updated.

Google will also change the name of Mount McKinley, the nation’s highest peak, from Denali. Former President Barack Obama renamed the Alaska landmark to Denali in 2015 as a nod to the region’s native population.

Both changes stem from an executive action that Trump signed shortly after taking office last week, saying the changes “honor American greatness.”

“It is in the national interest to promote the extraordinary heritage of our Nation and ensure future generations of American citizens celebrate the legacy of our American heroes,” the executive order said.

The order criticized Obama’s decision to rename McKinley as “an affront to President McKinley’s life, his achievements, and his sacrifice.” Drawing parallels to Trump, the order notes that McKinley “championed tariffs” and was assassinated “in an attack on our Nation’s values and our success.

And in a nod to the Gulf of Mexico’s contributions to the US economy, Trump is “directing that it officially be renamed the Gulf of America.” The executive order calls for all federal government maps and documents to “reflect its renaming.”

Google notes that only users in the United States will see both changes because when “official names vary between countries, Maps users see their official local name. Everyone in the rest of the world sees both names. That applies here too.”

[s]Red states will always want their slaves. That’s why they went to war against the United States. So they can secede and freely keep their black slaves in the field.

They’re still mad about the abolition of slavery. They keep saying “the south shall rise again”.

I wouldn’t live in a red state as a black Person. But some of us are too dumb and blinded by religion to see it happening. By the time they overthrow the 13th amendment in their states, it’ll be too late for black people there to get out.[/s]

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico has received non-Mexican deportees from the United States over the past week, President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday, reversing her previous opposition to doing so.

Sheinbaum said that Mexico had accepted over 4,000 deportees, of which a "large majority" were Mexican.

U.S. President Donald Trump took office last week, promising massive deportations of migrants who were in the U.S. illegally.

But in the days since, there has not yet been a "substantial" increase in deportees received by Mexico, Sheinbaum said.

The leftist leader had previously said that her administration had not agreed to the restart of the "Remain in Mexico" program by the Trump administration, which would send non-Mexican migrants back to Mexico while they awaited processing by the United States.

Sheinbaum said that deportations received from the U.S. had included people sent on four flights using civil aircraft. Reuters reported on Friday, citing a U.S. and Mexican official, that Mexico had refused a deportation flight operated by the U.S. military.

Such deportation flights have also caused an outcry from Brazil and Colombia in recent days.

Brazil accused the U.S. of "blatant disrespect" of deportees who were handcuffed on a flight, while Colombian President Gustavo Petro and Trump tussled on Sunday, nearly bringing the countries to the brink of a trade war over Petro's refusal to accept U.S. military deportation flights. Petro later agreed to accept the flights.

According to Sheinbaum, who called the agreement between Trump and Petro "good," the Mexican government and U.S. government were constantly in talks on immigration issues and other deals could be reached in coming days.

She said there was a precedent for Mexico receiving non-Mexican migrants from the U.S. Her predecessor, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, had agreed to the "Remain in Mexico" program during Trump's first term.

New York, CNN — President Donald Trump, with the stroke of a pen, could plunge America’s closest neighbors into recession.

Trump, on his first day in office, suggested he may do just that. Trump has threatened to impose 25% tariffs on all goods from Canada and Mexico on February 1 in response to what he views as inadequate border security failing to stop drugs and migrants from coming into the United States.

Spiking tariffs on Canada and Mexico would risk starting a full-blown trade war inside the deeply interconnected North American economy, where delicate supply chains have built close ties over the past several decades.

It would be a risky gamble for Trump, one with massive implications for the entire continent – and a test for the three neighboring nations, all of which have new or transitioning leadership.

Economists say that the tariffs, should they materialize, would swiftly send the Canadian and Mexican economies into recession and likely lift consumer prices for Americans on cars, gasoline and other imported items.

“This would be a real trade war, not a trade skirmish. This is serious. You would see job loss and people lose their homes,” said Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM.

That’s why some on Wall Street believe Trump is bluffing. Investors are not dumping stocks. CEOs are not panicking. Economists have not dimmed their growth forecasts.

After all, starting a North American trade war would undermine Trump’s promises to turbocharge the US economy and attack the cost of living.

It would risk unraveling the massive gains in the stock market, which Trump views as a real-time report card of sorts. And the Federal Reserve could feel compelled to keep interest rates high for longer, preventing the mortgage rate relief that Trump seeks.

Staged ke? Random shooting or attempt assassination in US didn't start today. They lost Kennedy in that manner, a serving president for that matter

otherway:
You are not only stwpid but extremely fooolish.

So because some people believe it was staged, they are dumbass.

You have a very very low IQ to say the least.

Your brain can't comprehend the fact that even if it was staged, people can still die.

I will advise you go watch SCANDAL.

Maybe you will start thinking outside the box.

LDaVinci:
IF it was staged, simple minds like you would not be able to tell.

1. It neednt be any Trump that planed it. There is something called a Deep State that is everywhere and has powerful interests.
2. What seemed like a bullet to you neednt be a bullet at all
3. Such high rollers have been known to sacrifice a few or even many lives when playing such high stakes games.

You really really need to dwell carefully on who this benefits, because everyone knows that after this incident the election is over. Trump has won.

In your response, pls pay careful attention to the bold red word in mine. Thx.

Lol. The conspiracy peddling Trumpists have suddenly turned a new leaf.

Personally I don't think anyone in his right senses will believe this was staged. They are basically just trolling you guys and give a dose of your medicine.

Not that I support such. This is a serious issue & should be treated as such.

And of course we thank God for sparing his life. 🙏

Former President Trump is now breaking his silence on the assassination attempt against him during a rally on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania.

I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead," Trump told the New York Post. "I’m supposed to be dead."

"The doctor at the hospital said he never saw anything like this, he called it a miracle," Trump also told the newspaper onboard his private plane while heading to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for this week’s Republican National Convention. "By luck or by God, many people are saying it’s by God I’m still here."

Trump told the Post that had he not turned his head slightly to the right to read a chart on illegal immigration, the bullet that grazed him would have been fatal.

He described the Secret Service agents that rushed at him like "linebackers," mentioning another one eliminated the gunman with "one shot right between the eyes."

"They did a fantastic job," he told the Post. "It’s surreal for all of us.

As Secret Service agents rushed Trump off the stage, he was heard saying he wanted to get his shoes.

"The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight," he explained to the Post.

Trump, reacting to images of him raising his fist and being surrounded by Secret Service agents in the seconds following the shooting, said, "A lot of people say it’s the most iconic photo they’ve ever seen."

They’re right and I didn’t die. Usually you have to die to have an iconic picture," he added. "I just wanted to keep speaking, but I just got shot."

Trump also told the New York Post that he appreciated the "fine" and "very nice" call he received from President Biden in the aftermath of the event, noting – without specifics – that the race between them could be more civil going forward.

He praised his rally audience for staying calm during the entire incident.

A lot of places … you hear a single shot, everybody runs. Here there were many shots and they stayed," Trump said. "I love them. They are such great people."
