Trump: "Mexico Deploys 10,000 Soldiers at US Border... 25% Tariff Postponed for One Month"

Agreement Reached in Phone Call with Mexican President
"Military to Crack Down on Fentanyl and Illegal Immigration into the U.S."
Another Call with Canadian Prime Minister Scheduled for 3 p.m.

U.S. President Donald Trump decided to delay the implementation of a 25% tariff 'bombshell' on Mexico for one month, just one day before the planned enforcement. Mexico promised to deploy troops near the U.S. border to crack down on illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

On the 3rd (local time), President Trump announced on his social networking service (SNS) Truth Social, which he created, "I just spoke with Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexico," revealing this decision.

He stated, "President Sheinbaum agreed to immediately deploy 10,000 troops along the border dividing Mexico and the United States," adding, "These troops will be specifically designated to prevent fentanyl and illegal immigrants from entering our country."

President Trump said, "We have also agreed to immediately suspend the anticipated tariffs for one month," and added, "I look forward to participating in negotiations with President Sheinbaum to finalize the deal between the two countries." He further explained, "Negotiations will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and senior Mexican representatives."

Earlier, on the 1st, President Trump signed an executive order based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on all Chinese imports on top of existing tariffs. He cited trade deficits, illegal immigration inflows, and fentanyl drug trafficking as reasons for imposing the tariffs. The executive order was scheduled to take effect at midnight on the 4th, but last-minute negotiations between the heads of state of the two countries were dramatically concluded, resulting in a one-month delay in enforcement.

On the same day, President Trump also spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, conducting last-minute negotiations just one day before the tariff imposition.

He announced on Truth Social that morning, "I just spoke with Justin Trudeau." Regarding the tariff measures, he claimed, "This is also a war on drugs," and stated, "Drugs have entered the U.S. through the borders with Mexico and Canada, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths." He added, "I will speak with him (Prime Minister Trudeau) again at 3 p.m."
