President Trump said Thursday he is delaying for roughly one month tariffs on Mexican imports that are covered under a North American trade agreement signed during his first term.
Trump posted on Truth Social that goods that fall under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) will be exempted from a 25 percent tariff he imposed this week on imports from Mexico and Canada. The delay will last until April 2, at which point Trump has pledged to impose reciprocal tariffs on all nations that have duties on U.S. imports.
“I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum,” Trump posted, noting he had spoken with the Mexican president. “Our relationship has been a very good one, and we are working hard, together, on the Border, both in terms of stopping Illegal Aliens from entering the United States and, likewise, stopping Fentanyl. Thank you to President Sheinbaum for your hard work and cooperation!”
