The looming trade war between America and Mexico appears to be over before it began. President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on Mexican goods that were slated to go into effect Tuesday will be delayed for a month as Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum pledged her government would do more to stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States.
The two leaders seemed to strike a deal on a phone call Monday morning. Shortly after the call with Trump, Sheinbaum announced on X that she had reached an agreement with him.
“We had a good conversation with President Trump with much respect to our relationship and sovereignty,” wrote Sheinbaum in Spanish. “We reached a series of agreements.”
