The agreed pause on tariffs will last for a month\u200b while negotiations occur involving U.S. officials, including Secretary\u200d of State Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n<p>President Sheinbaum also confirmed the military deployment and noted Mexico&#8217;s commitment \u2064to preventing the trafficking of guns from the U.S. Following Trump&#8217;s announcement, stocks responded positively, rebounding from an initial \u200bdrop. Trump\u2019s \u2064tactics appear to align with his promises \u2062to use tariffs to bolster border \u2063security and domestic\u200d manufacturing while negotiating trade relationships with both Mexico and Canada, where similar tariff threats had been previously raised.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump announced Monday that he is pausing imposing a 25 percent tariff on Mexico, following an agreement being reached to secure the border.<\/p>\n<p>So Trump&rsquo;s &ldquo;Art of the Deal&rdquo; negotiating tactic appears to be working again.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico.

This suggests that Trump&#8217;s negotiation strategy, known as the &#8220;Art of the Deal,&#8221; is proving effective once more. He stated, \u201cI just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation in which she agreed to immediately send 10,000 Mexican soldiers to the U.S.-Mexico border.\u201d These soldiers will focus on curbing the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants into the U.S. Trump added that they agreed to pause the planned tariffs for one month while negotiations led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick take place alongside high-level representatives from Mexico. He expressed eagerness to participate in these discussions with President Sheinbaum in pursuit of a deal between their two nations.<\/p>\n<p>Sheinbaum had previously mentioned on X that her conversation with Trump was positive and confirmed her commitment to dispatching 10,000 members of the Mexican National Guard to help prevent drug trafficking at their shared border. She also noted that \u201cThe United States is committed to working against high-powered weapon trafficking into Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNBC reported that over the weekend, Sheinbaum threatened retaliatory tariffs against U.S. imports but did not specify rates for those tariffs. Additionally, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indicated his country would impose a 25 percent tariff on $155 billion worth of U.S. goods in response to Trump&#8217;s earlier tariff announcements.<\/p>\n<p>With an estimated annual trade deficit exceeding $100 billion between Canada and the U.S., it seems likely Trudeau will make similar announcements as he seeks cooperation from Canada regarding illegal immigration and fentanyl issues at their borders.<\/p>\n<p>Following Trump&#8217;s announcement about pausing tariffs between Mexico and the U.S., stock markets rebounded after an initial decline. Trump acknowledged there might be short-term challenges as he reconfigures trade relations with various countries but reiterated his commitment during his campaign: using tariffs for enhanced border security while promoting domestic manufacturing and boosting federal revenue\u2014emphasizing it&#8217;s time for America First policies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2398313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-v-Sheinbaum.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[49733,5370,13991,42205,3634],"class_list":["post-2398312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-border-concession","tag-mexico","tag-tariffs","tag-trade-policy","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-v-Sheinbaum.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2398312"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398312\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2398316,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2398312\/revisions\/2398316"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2398313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2398312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2398312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2398312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
