Mexico's president announces deal with Trump to pause tariffs for a month

[NYPOST] President Trump and Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Monday that they had agreed a one-month pause on the imposition of a 25% across-the-board tariff by the US in exchange for concessions on border security by Mexico while a broader deal gets negotiated.

As part of the temporary pause, Sheinbaum agreed to reinforce the US-Mexico border with 10,000 personnel from her country's National Guard, to help crack down on fentanyl dissemination and illegal immigration into the US, per statements from the two leaders.

The US also agreed to ramp up efforts to prevent the trafficking of weapons into Mexico, according to Sheinbaum, who had a call with Trump earlier in the day Monday.

''I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation,'' Trump said of the call in a Truth Social post. ''We will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio

...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration...
, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and high-level Representatives of Mexico.''

''I look forward to participating in those negotiations, with President Sheinbaum, as we attempt to achieve a 'deal' between our two Countries.''

Agreed. Have an Aeromexico Plane at these airports every hour and busses waiting at the border points.
