President Donald Trump announced that Mexico will not have to pay tariffs on goods covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) on trade, following a discussion with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. This decision, effective until April 2, aims to avoid reciprocal tariffs on U.S. exports imposed by nations with fees on American goods. Trump emphasized the positive relationship with Mexico and their joint efforts to address border issues such as illegal immigration and Fentanyl trafficking. Notably, this move follows the exemption of automobiles from the 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports for a month, a concession made at the request of major U.S. automakers. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick hinted at extending this reprieve to all USMCA-compliant products, including Canadian imports. However, Trump’s statement did not explicitly mention Canada, leaving uncertainty about whether the tariff waiver applies to Canadian goods as well. This development underscores ongoing trade dynamics and the administration’s efforts to navigate trade relationships while addressing domestic concerns.
