Washington — President Trump announced he is pausing U.S. tariffs targeting imports from Mexico for a month after the country's president agreed to send 10,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to combat the flow of fentanyl.
Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday that he and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum "agreed to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs for a one month period." The pause, he said, will allow "negotiations headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and high-level Representatives of Mexico."
The president wrote that he had a "very friendly conversation" with Sheinbaum in which she "agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican Soldiers on the Border separating Mexico and the United States."
