Trump and Mexico’s president say tariffs will be delayed for one month after talks

After Mexico promised to increase border security, the U.S. and Mexico decided Monday to postpone a 25% duty on all Mexican imports for one month. This step might have slowed the economies of both countries and increased costs for U.S. consumers, at least for the time being. In order to combat drug trafficking from Mexico into the United States, especially fentanyl, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on social media that her country will immediately bolster the northern border with 10,000 soldiers of its National Guard. The U.S. will resume border security talks with Mexico, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Trump stated in a social media post.
