President Trump has agreed to delay the implementation of tariffs against Mexico for one month after reaching a series of agreements with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. The move comes as the US faces escalating trade disputes with Canada, China, and the European Union.
The United States has decided to postpone the implementation of tariffs against Mexico for a month. This announcement came just hours before the scheduled 25% tax on Mexican imports was set to take effect on Tuesday. The move follows a flurry of reactions from Mexico , Canada , and China after President Trump signed an executive order over the weekend authorizing the tariffs.
Canada swiftly retaliated by imposing a 25% tariff on over $100 billion worth of US goods, while China threatened legal action against the US. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum revealed that she had a lengthy phone conversation with President Trump on Monday, resulting in a series of agreements that would delay the tariffs. Sheinbaum emphasized the amicable nature of the conversation, stating that both sides expressed respect for their relationship and national sovereignty. Among the agreed-upon measures, Mexico pledged to immediately bolster its northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard. This deployment aims to curb drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, from Mexico into the United States. President Trump, in turn, committed to working with Mexico to prevent the flow of high-powered weapons into the country. A significant development is the commitment to negotiations between the two nations, led by key US officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, alongside high-level Mexican representatives. President Trump expressed optimism about achieving a 'deal' between the two countries during this month-long pause.Meanwhile, President Trump is scheduled to speak with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau again later on Tuesday, seeking to resolve the trade tensions that have led to the threatened tariffs. The US tariffs on Canada, which are set to go into effect unless an agreement is reached, include a 25% tax on Canadian imports, though energy products like oil and natural gas will only be subject to a 10% levy. Adding to the complexity, President Trump has also criticized the European Union, stating that its 27 member states have exploited the US, leading to a significant trade deficit. He warned that tariffs on goods from the EU are a possibility, while pointing out that he believes a deal could be reached with the UK
