U.S Tariff on Mexico Put on Hold
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Monday that planned tariffs between Mexico and the United States are on hold for a month following a conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump. In exchange, Mexico has committed to strengthening security along the U.S.-Mexico border to curb drug trafficking.

“Our teams will start working today in two areas: security and commerce,” Sheinbaum wrote in a post on X, signaling immediate cooperation between both nations.

Trump’s Tariff Threat and Mexico’s Response

Over the weekend, Trump had ordered a 25% tariff on all Mexican goods, prompting concerns over economic fallout. Mexico responded by warning of retaliatory tariffs but did not specify which products would be targeted.

U.S Tariff on Mexico Put on Hold

Monday’s agreement now delays these tariffs, with both nations focusing on addressing key security concerns instead.

Mexico’s Commitment: 10,000 Troops to the Border

As part of the deal, Sheinbaum confirmed that Mexico will deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to its northern border to combat the smuggling of drugs, particularly fentanyl, into the United States. The move aims to ease tensions and demonstrate Mexico’s commitment to tackling cross-border crime.

U.S. Pledges to Curb Weapon Smuggling

In return, the United States has agreed to work on stopping the flow of high-powered weapons into Mexico—a long-standing issue that fuels cartel violence.

Market Reaction: Peso Recovers After Initial Drop

The Mexican peso, which had been trading over 1% lower against the U.S. dollar amid tariff concerns, rebounded following the announcement. Investors responded positively to the temporary resolution, pushing the currency into positive territory.

What’s Next?

With tariffs on hold for now, both nations have a month to negotiate a longer-term solution. The coming weeks will determine whether security commitments are enough to prevent economic penalties or if further trade tensions emerge.
