U.S. President Donald Trump will pause new tariffs on Mexico for one month after Mexico agreed to reinforce its northern border with 10,000 National Guard members to stem the flow of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl, he said on Monday on social media.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the agreement also includes a U.S. commitment to act to prevent trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico. The two leaders spoke by phone on Monday, just hours before U.S. tariffs on Mexico, China and Canada were set to take effect.
The two counties will use the month-long pause to engage in further negotiations, Trump said.
Mexico has essentially agreed to pay tribute, now it’s a matter of finding out the price. Yes I call that a Trump win. Produce keeps coming in and he gets to take credit for whatever Mexico agrees to.
Paid tribute? What are you even talking about?
