US President Donald Trump has announced a pause on tariffs against Mexico until 2 April.
Trump said the decision follows his discussion with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico.
The US President stated that Mexico would not be required to pay tariffs on any goods covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, USMCA.
Trump affirmed that his relationship with Sheinbaum has been very positive and that they are working closely to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the United States.
“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.
“This agreement is in place until 2 April. I have done this as an accommodation and out of respect for President Sheinbaum. Our relationship has been a very good one, and we are working hard together on the border, both in terms of stopping illegal immigrants from entering the United States and, likewise, preventing the trafficking of fentanyl.
“Thank you to President Sheinbaum for your hard work and cooperation,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
