President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico announced a postponement of a planned 25 percent tariff on Mexican goods after negotiations with President Trump. This allows Mexico a 30-day window to address critical issues such as drug trafficking and migration while deploying an additional 10,000 National Guardsmen at the border. In return, Sheinbaum indicated a collaborative effort with the U.S. to stop arms trafficking into Mexico. Trump's response did not mention U.S. support for curbing firearm smuggling but praised the deployment of Mexican troops.
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that she has postponed a proposed 25 percent tariff on Mexican goods, providing time for negotiations and seeking positive results for both nations.
She suggested that if both sides collaborate effectively, they can avoid tariffs altogether, emphasizing the need for mutual cooperation on critical issues such as drug trafficking and migration.
The agreement mandates Mexico to deploy an additional 10,000 National Guardsmen on the border, while the U.S. will attempt to prevent arms smuggling into Mexico.
While President Trump noted the troop deployment as a positive step, he did not reaffirm the U.S. commitment to assist with curbing firearms trafficking.
