President Donald Trump’s recent threats of tariffs and land acquisitions are yielding results, as Mexico, Canada, and Panama have made significant concessions.

Mexico and Canada reached temporary agreements to pause Trump’s 25% tariffs, with Mexico also agreeing to bolster its border enforcement to combat fentanyl.

Panama distanced itself from China’s Belt and Road Initiative, likely in response to Trump’s pressure over Chinese influence on the Panama Canal.

Republican figures praised Trump’s approach, while critics argued the concessions were not new and did little to address underlying issues, Newsweek has reported.

Trump’s actions are seen as a move to assert American power and prioritize national security.
