On February 3, 2025, President Donald Trump announced a temporary pause on the new 25% tariffs on goods entering the U.S. from Mexico. The pause will last for one month, providing time for continued negotiations.

This development comes after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to send 10,000 soldiers to Mexico’s northern border to combat the trafficking of fentanyl and other drugs into the United States. Trump’s decision follows the imposition of 25% tariffs on imports from both Mexico and Canada, as well as a 10% tariff on goods from China, announced just days earlier.

To address the situation, Trump confirmed that a team of Mexican officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, will meet to negotiate terms on the tariffs, seeking a resolution that addresses both trade concerns and security issues.
