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.

    And what do you think he wants from Canada? As far as I can tell he just doesn’t like Trudeau

      No idea, I’m not even sure Trump knows what he wants. It seems like a fishing expedition to me. Throw out some wild tarrifs and see what happens.
