Lady, he was simply given a face saving word salad.
He was not going to win in any tariff war. We pay for it, not Mexico. Everyone that understands basic economics understands this. Even McConnell was ready to override him. His hand was empty, so asked Mexico for a face saving measure, and they obliged him.
Trumps tariffs working magic:

Mexico aims to avoid tariffs with potential deal limiting migrants going north, allowing U.S. to deport Central American asylum seekers.
Faced with Trump’s threat to impose steadily rising tariffs on goods imported from Mexico beginning Monday, Mexican officials have pledged to deploy up to 6,000 national guard troops to the area of the country’s border with Guatemala, a show of force they say will immediately reduce the number of Central Americans heading north toward the U.S. border.
The plan, a sweeping overhaul of asylum rules across the region, would require Central American migrants to seek refuge
in the first country they enter after leaving their homeland, the two officials said. For Guatemalans, that would be Mexico.
For migrants from Honduras and El Salvador, that would be Guatemala, whose government held talks last week with
acting Homeland Security secretary Kevin McAleenan.
Any migrants who made it to the U.S. border generally would be deported to the appropriate third country. And any
migrants who express a fear of death or torture in their home country would be subjected to a tougher screening
standard by U.S. asylum officers more likely to result in rejection.
You would have thought even the Democrats would be disgusted enough to curb the 400,000 illegals arriving
here in the last three months, but realizing they would not budge Trump pulled another victory out from the
jaws of defeat single-handedly!
Hampered by open border Democrats & Republicans Trump makes an end round around them all. Winning again!
