Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced a temporary one-month pause on tariffs with the US after a call with President Trump. The pause follows a deal that includes Mexico bolstering its border security with 10,000 National Guard members to combat drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl. In exchange, the US will work to curb the flow of high-powered weapons into Mexico. This arrangement signals a diplomatic effort to improve US-Mexico relations, with both leaders framing the agreement as a mutual concession.
According to a social media post by the Mexican president, it appears that a short-term agreement on several topics has stayed any tariff policy for at least a month.
We had a good conversation with President Trump with great respect for our relationship and sovereignty; we reached a series of agreements: Mexico will immediately reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard to prevent drug trafficking.
This announcement could be seen as a political and policy victory for Trump, given Mexico's apparent concession to bolster border security.
Trump confirmed the news on Truth Social: I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation.
