On February 3, 2025, after a call between Claudia Sheinbaum and Donald Trump, US tariffs on Mexico were paused “por un mes” (for a month). Mexico would send “diez mil elementos de la Guardia Nacional” (ten thousand members of the National Guard) to its northern border. (Video in Spanish.)
On July 31, 2025, one day before new tariffs of 30 percent were due, the two presidents agreed on a “prórroga de 90 días” (an extension of 90 days). The 25 percent tariff tied to fentanyl stayed in place.
