Trump confirms tariffs on Mexico pushed back for now
President Donald Trump confirmed Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's announcement that tariffs have been paused for one month. He said negotiations between his administration officials and Mexico will continue in the interim.
"I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican Soldiers on the Border separating Mexico and the United States," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl, and illegal migrants into our Country. We further agreed to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs for a one month period during which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and high-level Representatives of Mexico. I look forward to participating in those negotiations, with President Sheinbaum, as we attempt to achieve a 'deal' between our two Countries."

The shift comes a few days after Trump said there was "nothing" either Canada or Mexico could do to stop the tariffs. At the time, he acknowledged there might be some initial disruptions to the economy but argued it would be worth it in the long term. On Monday, before the announcements from Mexico and the U.S. on a pause, the tariff threat had sent the stock market falling.
