Mexico has agreed to send 10,000 troops to its northern border in exchange for a one-month pause on tariffs threatened by former U.S. President Donald Trump, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced.
The two leaders held a “friendly” conversation, agreeing that Mexico will take stronger action against drug trafficking while the U.S. will work to curb firearm smuggling into Mexico.
Trump confirmed the deal on Truth Social, which is focused on efforts to stop fentanyl and illegal migration.
Talks on broader trade and security matters are set to begin, led by high-ranking officials from both nations. Meanwhile, Trump’s tariffs on Canada and China remain in place, with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urging citizens to support domestic products in response.
True leadership.

Kabuki theatre.
President Trump said he will now also be delaying tariffs on Canadian imports for 30 days. This is in exchange for a commitment to tackle drug trafficking and security issues at the U.S.’s northern border. (Is this the “art of the deal” strategy?)
