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.
Canada may hold out longer than you think. “Go fuck yourself Trump.” seems to be the prevailing public sentiment.
So say we all
Especially with an election on the horizon. Any party campaigning on capitulation is going to be radioactive to most voters.
But politicians are just gonna campaign on fighting against Trump just to get votes, and then turn around and capitulate anyway.
