My guess is that they’ll keep pulling the 30-day reprieve crap for as long as they can before finding some kind of an an off-ramp to save face, likely with the renegotiation of USMCA.
They’ll then spin it as a win to soothe Trump’s ego and the MAGA cult will applaud. “See? He’s the best deal maker ever!”

I think you're spot on.
I also think the 51st state stuff is a move towards long term resource agreements(stealing), much like the minerals deals with Ukraine.
Threaten the max, eventually settle at exploitation with new agreemens & claim victory.
