U.S. President Donald Trump will pause new tariffs on Mexico for one month after Mexico agreed to reinforce its northern border with 10,000 National Guard members to stem the flow of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl, he said on Monday on social media.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the agreement also includes a U.S. commitment to act to prevent trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico. The two leaders spoke by phone on Monday, just hours before U.S. tariffs on Mexico, China and Canada were set to take effect.

The two counties will use the month-long pause to engage in further negotiations, Trump said.

        You think Trump would make that sort of concession about guns as a distraction?

        It’s amazing. If you paid attention to people on Lemmy, literally everything the Trump administration does is a distraction and can be dismissed. You guys will still be saying that when they start putting people in ovens…

          I’m saying this as a warning and that we shouldn’t be dismissive about what just happened - because there could be something more sinister going on.

          You seem to be the one wanting to ignore things, not me.
