President Trump pauses Mexico tariffs until April 2

President Trump on Thursday said he will pause 25% tariffs on U.S. imports from Mexico that are covered under a 2020 trade agreement, delaying levies imposed on the nation and on Canada earlier this week. 

Mr. Trump announced the delay in a social media post after a call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

"After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement," Mr. Trump wrote, referring to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. He characterized the move "as an accommodation" for the Mexican leader.
