Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum says American tariffs on her country have been delayed for a month after a conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump, a statement confirmed by the White House.
“Mexico will reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard immediately, to stop drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, in particular fentanyl,” Sheinbaum posted on X.
“The United States commits to work to stop the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico.”
The Mexican president added that the two countries will maintain dialogue, and “our teams will start working today in two areas: security and commerce.”
Trump ordered the 25 per cent tariffs on all Mexican goods over the weekend, with Mexico saying it would respond with tariffs of its own without detailing on what products.
But Trump confirmed on social media that tariffs on goods from Mexico will be paused for a month for negotiations, hours before they were to take effect.
