President Trump announced a temporary pause on tariffs for USMCA-compliant Mexican goods until April 2nd, following a discussion with President Claudia Sheinbaum. The exemption aims to ease market tensions after stocks fluctuated in response to previous tariff announcements. While this move is part of broader trade negotiations and relations with Mexico, Trump made no similar offers to Canada, despite his conversation with Prime Minister Trudeau. The tariff decisions are influenced by frustrations over fentanyl and other issues, raising concerns among automakers and stock traders alike.
After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement. This Agreement is until April 2nd. I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum.
Trump’s newest pause dovetails with the White House’s efforts to calm markets. Shares on Wall Street tanked after Trump decided to forge ahead with his latest round of tariffs.
