‘I’m Not Too Impressed’: Fox’s Laura Ingraham Calls Out Trump for Tariff Deals — Openly Questions Whether He Caved to ‘Huge Negative Reaction’

President Donald Trump got some rare criticism from Fox News host Laura Ingraham Monday night over his last-minute deals to avert a trade war with Canada and Mexico.

In an eye-opening segment of Monday’s Ingraham Angle, Ingraham called out what she saw as a small haul from Canada in return for a 30-day pause on 25 percent tariffs.

“Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote on X Monday, announcing the deal. “Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border. “In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.”

Those terms were underwhelming, in Ingraham’s view.

“I’m not too impressed with the Canadian response, frankly,” Ingraham said. “I mean, a fentanyl czar? What’s that’s going to do? I guess they’ll have a few helicopters flying at the border. I mean, it’s not nothing. But they were going to get slapped with 25 percent tariffs, and now those are gone for at least 30 days. I’m not sure what’s going to happen in 30 days —maybe some other concessions.”

The Fox News host went on to openly question whether public opinion about the tariffs led Trump to find an off-ramp.

“I think President Trump saw a huge negative reaction to this, as I know you predicted — I predicted from Wall Street, from the markets, from all the establishment types,” Ingraham told guest Patrick Bet-David. “Do you think he reacted to that, or maybe some of his advisers said, ‘Whoa, whoa! we got to we got to rethink this!'”

Bet-David, for his part, did back Trump.

“I think President Trump is a guy that, in my opinion, likes to ask people, ‘What do you think?’ behind closed doors,” Bet-David said. “But at the end of the day, he’s a strategist. He’s thinking five, 10, 15 moves ahead, and he knows he has the leverage card.”
