The U.S. and Mexico agreed to delay a 25% tariff on Mexican imports for one month after Mexico committed to enhancing border security. This decision aims to prevent price increases for U.S. consumers and economic slowdown. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the deployment of 10,000 National Guard members to combat drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl. The agreement follows President Trump's executive order imposing tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, which has led to retaliatory measures from Canada. The situation remains fluid as negotiations continue over border security and trade relations.
