I've seen a bunch of takes that the whole tariff thing backfired on Trump and idk where that's coming from.
The tariffs weren't a goal by themselves, they were a mean to a goal, and if the goal was to dictate Mexicoś (or Canada's) security policy from the US then tariffs were successful, Claudia Sheinbaum was forced to send 10 thousand Guardia Nacional soldiers to militarize the border, and, apparently, she also agreed to some form of coordination of the Mexican security forces with the USA.
