So in Trumps mind he won right? So it's just gonna get worse.

It's worth noting that Canada agreed the funding and security deal in December, nothing new has been promised. Well, except escalating retaliation.

....so he got exactly what he wanted from them?

Only time will tell if they actually hold up their end of the bargain in a way that satisfies the great Cheeto in chief.

Something tells me this won't be the last time we hear about this situation...

It seems looking at it now, on the other side of these pauses, Trump's threatened tariffs vs two of America's two closest allies and largest trading partners, was to publicly threaten to hit them in the mouth, as a bully tactic to show the rest of the world (read: BRICS) that Trump is capable of anything.
