Trump’s tariffs get results…

President Donald Trump confirmed on TRUTH Social Monday morning that he would be pausing the 25% tariff on Mexico after a conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Sheinbaum agreed to send 10,000 soldiers to protect the southern border in exchange for a one-month pause on the Trump tariffs.

Trump confirmed it will give America and Mexico time to negotiate.

Trump’s TRUTH Social post below:

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 released a statement about the conversation on X, saying:

“We had a good conversation with President Trump with great respect for our relationship and sovereignty; we reached a series of agreements:

1. Mexico will immediately reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard to prevent drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl.

2. The United States is committed to working to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico.

3. Our teams will begin working today on two fronts: security and trade.

4. They are pausing tariffs for one month from now.”
