The trade war between Mexico and the United States has evidently been delayed. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum today indicated that the 25% tariffs that were set to be implemented on February 4 have been delayed for a month.
The delay follows commitments by Mexico to deploy 10,000 national guard troops to the US-Mexico border in an effort to assist in securing it, while also agreeing to work with the United States on “security and business.” The deployment of troops, as per Donald Trump, are intended to “stop the flow of fentanyl, and illegal migrants into [the USA].”
In exchange, the US has also said that it is committed to working to prevent the trafficking of high powered weapons to Mexico.
