Implementation bumped back a month for Mexico:

We’re still expecting to hear from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum at a news conference shortly. But we can now bring you a breaking news development which she has just shared on X in the last few minutes.

Sheinbaum says that the US will delay imposing 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico for a month following a “good conversation” with Trump.

It comes after the two leaders came to an agreement, she says, including that Mexico will reinforce the border with 10,000 National Guard troops who will be immediately deployed.

They will be tasked with preventing drug trafficking into the US – with a particular focus on fentanyl, which had been one of Trump’s cited concerns.

Sheinbaum adds that the US has also committed to work on preventing trafficking of high-powered weapons into Mexico.
