U.S. tariffs on Mexico to be paused for a month, Trump says
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.
What a little bitch.
Big manly man Trump got whipped by a lady. A Jewish lady. A Jewish lady who's also Latina! If she was also black, it would be the perfect irony.
How????
The cheeto wanted us (México) to be more aggresive as their lower border to prevent migrants from coming over... we agreed to his terms and we got a single month to comply, how is that him getting whipped? He got what he wanted, he bent us over (just like the expresident from the same party in power).
Even worse, this will only encourage him to ask for more things since he can get away with it.If you mean about the weapons part... I expect him to not keep his word, specially since the narcos in México are in full power and they need their weapons.
I don't see how this is a loss for trump. He got Mexico to do something he presumably wanted.

Businesses like predictability. Even if something is going to be expensive in the future, businesses are okay with that as long as they know its coming and can plan/make changes. What trump did was the exact opposite. He introduce uncertain and has lost trust with the largest businesses in the world.
Some of his biggest supporters and enablers and big business. He just dropped his pants and took a shit in their backyard with this.
I knew Mexico and Canada would blink first (well, Canada hasn’t yet, but it’s a matter of time).
Now the bully thinks that he can wave his favorite toy (tariffs) around and get whatever he wants. Mexico had a ton of leverage in this situation. Where does most American produce come from this time of year? Where are so many cars manufactured that are destined for the US? That’s right, it’s Mexico.

What are you talking about? Mexican president always signalled that her country is ready to cooperate to fight cartels.
It is Trump who blinked - he delayed tarrifs he wanted to intruduce to appease his fascist voter base.
The only source in this article is Trump saying this is what happened. Don't trust what Trump is saying directly. He's already previously mislead to make it seem like other countries caved when they really did almost nothing
It’s all a distraction while they seize the treasury. This is a coup
