Summary

Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to pause new U.S. tariffs for one month after negotiations.

In exchange, Mexico will deploy 10,000 soldiers to combat drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl. The U.S. pledged to curb illegal weapons flowing into Mexico.

Trump confirmed the deal, saying further negotiations will involve top officials from both countries.

Sheinbaum, despite rejecting Trump’s past accusations of ties to crime groups, called the agreement a “good deal” and expressed hope for a permanent tariff suspension.

Trump did not mention Made in America guns in his announcement about the pause.

    I love this flip-flop back and forth messing with people’s plans and livelihoods. It’s almost as if trump has no idea what’s he’s doing.

      There’s a whole lot of money to be made when the market does big swings up or down if you know which way it’s about to go.
