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.

    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.
