Washington, D.C. — U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a delay in new tariffs on Mexican imports after reaching a border security deal with Mexico. The agreement comes after Mexico committed to deploying 10,000 troops to its border to help curb the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.

As part of the deal, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that the U.S. has also agreed to take measures to limit the flow of firearms heading south across the border, addressing a critical concern for Mexican authorities battling organized crime.

Trump had previously threatened to impose a 25% import tax on goods from Mexico starting Tuesday, alongside new tariffs targeting products from Canada and China. However, the border agreement has temporarily eased tensions, putting the proposed tariffs on hold.

In a related development, Trump reiterated his intention to consider trade tariffs on the European Union (EU) but hinted that a potential deal could be “worked out” with the United Kingdom amidst ongoing trade discussions.

The delay in tariffs marks a significant shift in the escalating trade tensions, with both nations pledging continued cooperation on border security and economic relations.
