I wasn’t aware he met anybody between announcing the surcharge and the call with that one American (forgot who it was). But if he did talk to Carney or someone else in the Fed, and that’s the reason why he backed off, then I’ll respect him a bit more. But it’s clear he wants to take full credit for it as part of his useless talks with the US, so he’ll never publicly announce it and Carney’s cabinet gains nothing to do so as well, so he’s lost the opportunity to actually strengthen his position with those that hate him.
