The Trump administration has paused tariffs on Mexico while discussions on security and trade continue. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that Mexico would deploy 10,000 national guard troops to curb drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl. The U.S. will help prevent arms trafficking into Mexico. With heavy reliance on U.S. trade, Mexico faces economic peril from ongoing tariffs. Despite claims from the U.S. regarding crime alliances with the Mexican government, Sheinbaum strongly rejected these accusations. Mexico has also committed to resuming the "Wait in Mexico" policy for asylum seekers.
The Trump administration has agreed to pause sweeping tariffs on Mexico for a month while the two sides hammer out an agreement on security and trade.
Mexico agreed to rush 10,000 national guard troops to the border to strengthen efforts to block the flow of drugs, especially fentanyl, coming into the United States.
The United States pledged to work to avoid the trafficking of weapons to Mexico as part of the recent agreement.
If the tariffs persist for months, economists say, Mexico is almost certain to suffer a recession.
