Mexican president quickly announces that Trump’s tariffs are indeed motivating her to play ball with him

In the battle of the tariffs, it would appear that President Donald Trump is coming out on top.

Following the implementation of retaliatory tariffs, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum took to X on Monday to announce that her country will be pausing said tariffs for one month. This update comes after a phone call between Shienbaum and Trump, which resulted in several victories for those focused on border security.

Look:

“We had a good conversation with President Trump with great respect for our relationship and sovereignty; we reached a series of agreements: 1. Mexico will immediately reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard to prevent drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl. 2. The United States is committed to working to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico. 3. Our teams will begin working today on two fronts: security and trade. [4.] They are pausing tariffs for one month from now,” a translated version of the post reads.

President Trump posted a confirmation of the agreement on Truth Social.

“I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican Soldiers on the Border separating Mexico and the United States. These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl, and illegal migrants into our Country,” he wrote. “We further agreed to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs for a one month period during which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and high-level Representatives of Mexico. I look forward to participating in those negotiations, with President Sheinbaum, as we attempt to achieve a ‘deal’ between our two Countries.”

Trump has also slapped Canada and China with tariffs and it remains to be seen if those countries will work to come to an agreement with the president like Sheinbaum did.

Meanwhile, X users are excited about the news:
