Trump delays tariffs on most Mexican and Canadian goods after call with Sheinbaum
U.S. president announces he will pause levies affecting products covered by the 2020 USMCA free trade agreement
The chaos surrounding Donald Trump’s tariff policy continues. Two days after announcing a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, the U.S. president posted on Truth Social that: “After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico,” he has agreed that “Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that that falls under the USMCA Agreement,” and that the new extension would last until April 2. The USMCA is the sweeping free trade agreement between Mexico, the United States, and Canada, signed by Trump in 2020.
