US President Donald Trump has confirmed in a message on Truth Social that he has paused imposing tariffs on Mexican imports for one month, citing an agreement with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to take steps to secure the US-Mexico border to illicit flows of fentanyl and migrants. 

  • Trump: "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. 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."
  • Sheinbaum noted the same agreement in a message on Xa short time ago: We had a good conversation with President Trump with great respect for our relationship and sovereignty; we reached a series of agreements... They are pausing tariffs for one month from now.."
  • Trump's message doesn't mention separate tariffs on Canada and China, with Trump scheduled to hold a second call of the day with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at 15:00 ET 20:00 GMT.
