Trump Says Deal Reached to Delay Tariffs on Mexico for 1 Month – EVOL

Trump said he agreed to ‘immediately pause’ tariffs on Mexico. Tariffs on Canada and China are still set to take effect on Tuesday.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Feb. 3 that they reached a deal to delay 25 percent U.S. tariffs on Mexican goods that were due to take effect on Tuesday.

Sheinbaum wrote on social media platform X that Mexico and the United States reached a series of agreements, and that Mexico will immediately send 10,000 members of its National Guard to the U.S.–Mexico border targeting the trafficking of illicit fentanyl.

Trump said in a social media post that the the Mexican troops “will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl, and illegal migrants into our Country.”

The one-month tariff pause will allow for “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,” Trump said.

I look forward to participating in those negotiations, with President Sheinbaum, as we attempt to achieve a “deal” between our two Countries.”

Sheinbaum said that the United States also “committed to working to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico.”
