US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that he was putting on hold sweeping tariffs that he recently imposed on Mexican imports after a conversation with his Mexican counterpart, Claudia Sheinbaum.
He cited their positive relationship as the reason behind his move and said that he was lifting tariffs on most products from Mexico for four weeks as fears loom for a trade war among the neighbouring countries.
The US President said that, for now, fresh tariffs would not apply to trade that comes under a pact between the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
“This Agreement is until April 2nd," he said.
Sheinbaum hailed Trump’s decision after a phone call between the two leaders.
“We will continue to work together, particularly on migration and security issues," Sheinbaum wrote on social media after what she called an “excellent and respectful" phone call with Trump.
