Trump Pauses Mexico Tariffs After Agreement on 10,000 Border Troops

 


U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered that tariffs that target imports from Mexico will be suspended for a period of one month. In accordance with an agreement reached with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, the decision was made.


Mexico will send 10,000 soldiers to the border between the United States and Mexico as part of the agreement. The mission of these individuals is to assist in putting a stop to the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigrants into the States.


The announcement was made by Trump on his social media channel to the public. According to him, the two of them had a pleasant talk with Sheinbaum. This halt will last for one month, during which time high-level negotiations will begin.


The important officials from the Departments of State, Treasury, and Commerce are going to be in charge of leading the discussions with their counterparts from Mexico. In response, Sheinbaum announced that Mexico would increase the number of National Guard soldiers posted along the border by 10,000 additional personnel.


Furthermore, the United States of America has come to an agreement to cooperate on measures that will prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico. Tuesday was the day that the tariffs of 25% were supposed to go into force.


The imposition of these restrictions was a response to worries regarding illegal immigration and the flow of fentanyl from Mexico. With the intention of easing tensions and opening the door to negotiations between the two countries, this brief suspension has been implemented.
