"It's not entirely clear whether Mexico and Canada played Donald Trump in his
tariffs war, but it sure seems so -- at least, temporarily.

"Mexico and Canada have outsmarted Trump by bolstering border security with
measures already underway or that can easily be carried out."

I look at it and think they mastered the "art of the deal" better than Trump
did.  Nothing like being able to convince someone you will do something
"new" by continuing to do something you were already doing.
