President Trump's tariffs on Mexico have been delayed for a month following discussions between President Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. Although the tariffs were initially set to go into effect on Tuesday, both countries have agreed to continue negotiations to address concerns over drug trafficking and national security. Mexico has pledged to reinforce its northern border with 10,000 National Guard members and work to curb the flow of fentanyl into the United States.
Mexico's president announced Monday that President Trump's recently-announced tariffs against the neighboring country have been delayed for a month pending further negotiations. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that after a conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump, the planned tariffs are on hold for a month, a statement confirmed by the White House.
'Mexico will reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard immediately, to stop drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, in particular fentanyl,' Sheinbaum posted on X. 'The United States commits to work to stop the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico.' Over the weekend, Trump declared an economic emergency in order to place duties of 10% on all imports from China and 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada. Mexico and Canada ordered retaliatory tariffs, though Mexico is holding off on theirs for the moment as security and trade talks continue between the two countries. The Ministry of Commerce in China said it would file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization for the 'wrongful practices of the U.S.' and take measures to safeguard its rights and interests. Import taxes were still in place for Canada and China to begin on Tuesday. Trump posted on social media that he spoke Monday morning with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and would 'be speaking to him again at 3:00 P.M.' Trump has promised more import taxes to come. Trump has said he was enacting the tariffs to take greater action against illegal drugs. He said the tariffs would lift if Canada and Mexico did more to crack down on illegal immigration and fentanyl smuggling, though there are no clear benchmarks. Trump also said the U.S. can no longer run a trade imbalance with its two largest trade partners. Mexico is facing a 25% tariff, while Canada would be charged 25% on its imports to the United States and 10% on its energy products. China is facing a 10% additional tariff due to its role in the making and selling of fentanyl, the Trump White House said
