In a surprising turn of events, President Trump has announced a temporary delay in imposing tariffs on Mexican goods following intense negotiations between the two countries. The looming threat of tariffs had caused unease among American businesses and consumers, who feared higher prices and supply chain disruptions.
The decision to pause the tariffs comes as Mexico agreed to deploy thousands of troops to its southern border to curb the flow of migrants heading towards the United States. This move was seen as a significant concession by Mexican authorities, who had been under pressure to address the issue of illegal immigration.
The announcement has provided some relief to markets, with Bitcoin rebounding after the news. Investors are now looking ahead to further trade talks between the US and China, as President Trump looks to reconfigure America's trade relationships.
Despite the temporary reprieve, uncertainty still lingers over the future of US-Mexico trade relations. The pause in tariffs is set to last for 90 days, during which time both countries will continue negotiations in hopes of reaching a more permanent solution.
