President Trump plans to implement 10 percent tariffs on all imports from China and 25 percent on Mexico and Canada. However, Mexico and the U.S. have reached a series of agreements.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum posted on X that she had a “good conversation” with President Trump.
1. Mexico will immediately reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard to prevent drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl.
2. The United States is committed to working to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico.
3. Our teams will begin working today on two fronts: security and trade. They are pausing tariffs for one month from now.
