US President Donald Trump has paused new tariffs on Mexico for one month after Mexico agreed to deploy 10,000 National Guard members to its northern border. The agreement also includes a US commitment to act against the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico. The tariffs on Canada and China remain in place and are set to take effect on Tuesday.
US President Donald Trump says he 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. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the agreement also includes a US commitment to act to prevent trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico. The two leaders spoke by phone on Monday, just hours before US tariffs on Mexico, China and Canada were set to take effect.
“Canadians appear to have misunderstood the plain language of the executive order,” Hassett added. “President Trump was absolutely 100 per cent clear that this is not a trade war, this is a drug war.” When asked what Canada and Mexico must do to lift their tariffs, Trump told reporters on Sunday they “have to balance out their trade, number one”. “They’ve got to stop people from pouring into our country ... they have to stop people pouring in, and we have to stop fentanyl.
