Mexico president makes deal with Trump to pause tariffs for a month, put 10K troops on border

Trump Scores Instant Win as Mexico Deploys 10,000 Troops to Border

Former President Donald Trump secured a swift victory in border security negotiations after threatening a 25% tariff on Mexican imports. In response, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to send 10,000 National Guard troops to the northern border to curb illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking. As a result, Trump has paused the tariffs for one month to allow further negotiations on trade and security measures.

Trump’s strategy of economic pressure forced Mexico to act quickly, showcasing his signature "America First" approach. This deal not only strengthens U.S. border security but also sets the stage for further negotiations on trade and law enforcement cooperation. With Trump now applying similar tactics to Canada and China, more diplomatic wins may be on the horizon.
