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.
It’s all a distraction while they seize the treasury. This is a coup
What a little bitch.
Big manly man Trump got whipped by a lady. A Jewish lady. A Jewish lady who’s also Latina! If she was also black, it would be the perfect irony.
why do you think she identifies as latina?? i don’t think she does…
Why wouldn’t she? Do you think there’s some genetic requirement?
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.I don’t see how this is a loss for trump. He got Mexico to do something he presumably wanted.
He didn’t get what he wanted at all. He tried to look tough, the world pointed out he was shooting himself in the foot, then he backed down like a bitch.
If you think all he wanted was some national guard troops patrolling the border and that’s all this was about, I don’t know what to tell you.
Delaying something as big as tariffs by a month is not some kind of epic loss.
He got Mexico to the table and Mexican troops to maybe stop some smuggling. This is how Trump negotiates he does ridiculous things that hopefully force responses.
He said there was no concession either Mexico or Canada could make that would stop these tariffs.
Tariffs are “paused” now. I guess Little t folded.
When was Mexico refusing to be at the table? There is an open relationship and trade agreements in place already… if Trump wanted to talk to Mexico about anything he could have done so with zero barriers
In the meantime, you can rest assured that to “bring Mexico” to the imaginary table they were not in, he torpedoed 100% of trust anyone in the world could possibly have about any contract or agreement with the USA
This isn’t a normal rational thing. This is Trump using schoolyard bully tactics. Mexico went the appeasement route. Trump doesn’t care about anyone respecting the US, he cares what he can get them to do for him.
Yes, I know how kids act… the point is that he is cutting the USA’s nose to spite its face… so not sure how is that any “win” for the USA…
He got Mexico to maybe to something and you call that a successful negotiation?
Mexico has essentially agreed to pay tribute, now it’s a matter of finding out the price. Yes I call that a Trump win. Produce keeps coming in and he gets to take credit for whatever Mexico agrees to.
Paid tribute? What are you even talking about?
And what do you think he wants from Canada? As far as I can tell he just doesn’t like Trudeau
No idea, I’m not even sure Trump knows what he wants. It seems like a fishing expedition to me. Throw out some wild tarrifs and see what happens.
