U.S. President Donald Trump has paused new tariffs on Mexico for one month after reaching an agreement with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to reinforce border security. Meanwhile, tariffs on Canada and China will proceed as planned, set to take effect on Tuesday.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a one-month pause on new tariffs targeting Mexican imports, following a border security agreement between Washington and Mexico City.

Trump confirmed the decision on Truth Social, stating that Mexico had agreed to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to its northern border to combat drug smuggling, particularly fentanyl.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the agreement also includes a U.S. commitment to curb the trafficking of high-powered weapons into Mexico. The two leaders reached the deal during a phone call just hours before tariffs were set to take effect.

While tariffs on Mexico are temporarily suspended, U.S. duties on Canadian and Chinese imports remain in place and will take effect on Tuesday. The move is part of Trump’s broader trade strategy aimed at addressing economic and security concerns through tariff policies.
