‘Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement’ until April 2, Trump said.

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said on March 6 that he is granting an exemption for the 25 percent tariffs he recently imposed on Mexico until April 2.

“After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement,” Trump announced on Truth Social on March 6. “This Agreement is until April 2nd. I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum.”

Trump also expressed his gratitude to Sheinbaum for Mexico’s efforts in curbing the flow of immigrants and fentanyl through the U.S.–Mexico border.

“Our relationship has been a very good one, and we are working hard, together, on the Border, both in terms of stopping Illegal Aliens from entering the United States and, likewise, stopping Fentanyl,” he wrote. “Thank you to President Sheinbaum for your hard work and cooperation!”

On March 4, Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico. He also doubled the 10 percent universal tariff on imports from China to 20 percent.

Regarding the tariffs on Canada, Trump said he had a held a series of phone calls with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Trump did not announce any exemption for the 25 percent tariffs on Canada, and instead blamed Trudeau for the problem.

“Believe it or not, despite the terrible job he’s done for Canada, I think that Justin Trudeau is using the Tariff problem, which he has largely caused, in order to run again for Prime Minister. So much fun to watch!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

This is a developing story.
