Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Monday (3) that former U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to suspend the 25% tariffs on Mexican products for one month. Sheinbaum expressed optimism about the negotiations, stating, “I am confident that in a month, we will have good results. It was a good conversation, marked by respect.”
The decision comes amid ongoing trade tensions between the two nations, with Mexico seeking to protect its exports from heavy tariffs. In response to U.S. concerns, Sheinbaum also confirmed that Mexico will strengthen its northern border to curb drug trafficking into the United States.
The temporary suspension of tariffs provides a crucial window for further diplomatic discussions. Experts believe that Mexico’s commitment to border security may play a key role in ensuring a more permanent resolution to trade issues between the two countries.
As both sides navigate these negotiations, businesses and consumers will closely watch how this agreement unfolds. The move signals a potential de-escalation in economic tensions but leaves open questions about the long-term trade relationship between Mexico and the U.S.
