U.S. President Donald Trump will pause new tariffs on Mexico for one month after Mexico agreed to reinforce its northern border with 10,000 National Guard members to stem the flow of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl, he said on Monday on social media.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the agreement also includes a U.S. commitment to act to prevent trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico. The two leaders spoke by phone on Monday, just hours before U.S. tariffs on Mexico, China and Canada were set to take effect.

The two counties will use the month-long pause to engage in further negotiations, Trump said.

        Mexico doesn’t pay the tarrifs, Americans will pay the tarrif. It’s just a fancy word for tax. Call it import tax, Trump import tax. Do you see it ? It’s meant to make US made more attractive by making imports more expensive. It also make Trump a very unreliable partner. Flip flopping all over the place.

            An idiot would’ve argued back without verifying. So not an idiot.

        Hopefully Sheinbaum told Trump that she’d send the troops to the border ahorita.

        Suddenly America is flooded with fentanyl disguised as every random pill you can imagine. The fear of medicine becomes as deadly as the fentanyl.
