I generally tend to think Trump has a reasonably strong survival instinct. Which pushes towards the view he will back down (and claim victory) vis a vis CAN, MEX.
But I also wouldn't bet the farm on anyone's predictions of what Trump will do (including mine).

If there’s a shred of rationality left in Trump and his cronies, they are expecting CAN and MEX to provide concessions by Tuesday so he can declare victory and walk back. Or else, he is completely crazy. Take your pick.

What the hell just happened w/ tariffs? Trump put Mexico tariffs on hold after Sheinbaum promised to send 10K troops to crack down on fentanyl; FYI Mexican military has >400K members. Realistically, I think the bully backed down when his target wouldn’t roll over.
Let’s see what happens w/ Canada.

BTW, perhaps nothing would enrage Trump more than US trade partners brushing the tariffs off and saying we‘ll just find other trade partners, thank you very much.

Useful chart from Bloomberg. Trump says bilateral deficit with Canada means we're subsidizing them. But more than all the imbalance is energy. This means they send us oil & gas, we send them IOUs. This is a subsidy?
