Mexico has agreed to deploy 10,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in exchange for a one-month delay on President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday.
Sheinbaum made the announcement on social media Monday morning, roughly 12 hours before the tariffs were set to take effect. Trump and Sheinbaum spoke on Monday and agreed that Mexico will do more to combat drug trafficking into the U.S., and that the U.S. will step up efforts to block the flow of firearms into Mexico.
Sheinbaum also said officials with the U.S. and Mexico were beginning talks on wider trade and security issues.
"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," Trump 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," he added.
THIS is how a REAL president does it. We've needed this for FOUR YEARS.

You do realize he did not write the art of the deal, right?
In reality, here's what happened:
The Market Indexed went into free fall. Just as expected by economists.
Trump was frantically reaching out for Mexico's President. She agreed to the same term she started implementing 4 months ago: getting an additional 10,000 soldiers to help patrol the borders.
Trump agreed to what Mexico had been asking for: try to control the illegal flow of arms into Mexico.
See, any 2nd grader can figure out that the Cartels are getting their weapons and ammo from the US, preventing the Mexican government from mounting an effective campaign against them. So Mexico has been demanding that the US does its share and prevent weapons from flowing to the cartels.
