Trump wants to bring manufacturing back to America
He's just going to claim Mexico buckled and knelt down to him, then preen and strut around like a peacock claiming he won. That's effectively what he did with the wall.
However I don't think Canada nor Mexico should give him even the pretense of appearing to win, as that would just reinforce his extortionist behavior.
He and his family should lead by example.

China can give up all their IP to the US and the US will not be able to do anything with it. I'm not worried about Congress robbing investments, I'm more worried about manufacturing investments in the US being equivalent to lighting money on fire.
Americans can't even do anything with their own IP. Instead, megacorps just hoard them so the competition can't emerge and they can continue to rent seek. That's why you see such a humongous mismatch between the R&D, papers, patents, claimed, and real-life results.
US Manufacturers need materials and machinery. People tend to forget that the US is also an exporter and the market outside the US is bigger than the US market. "Made In USA" means nothing for people outside the US if is not priced reasonable enough.

I mean, you can't stop someone from claiming credit for making the sky blue.
Practically, even ignoring how Meixco already have troops near the border or that they're already suppose to prevent drug trafficking, Trump removed the tariffs immediately without waiting for Mexico to do anything, the entire world just saw his bluff gets called and will act accordingly regardless what he claims.
