Mexico and Canada are getting at least a temporary reprieve on tariffs: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that President Trump agreed to a one-month delay after the two leaders spoke by phone, reports the Washington Post. Trump then confirmed the change on Truth Social. In return, Sheinbaum said Mexico would send an additional 10,000 troops to the border to try to better stop the flow of fentanyl and other drugs, as well as migrants, into the US.
- Later Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said tariffs had been delayed after a "good call" with Trump. "Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan—reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl," Trudeau said in a post on X. "Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border."
- Trudeau said Canada is also "making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering." He said the proposed tariffs "will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together." Canada had planned to respond to Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian goods with tariffs of 25% on a wide range of American goods.
