Mexico's leader just made the announcement while adding her country will deploy 10,000 national guard troops to the border immediately to halt drug trafficking to the United States. Claudia Sheinbaum's comment comes after she threatened retaliatory tariffs against the US after President Trump said he is imposing 25 percent on Mexican products. She said she proposed the pause of the tariffs and Trump agreed. At her first press conference since Trump announced the levies on Friday, Sheinbaum said the US president insisted on addressing the trade deficit with Mexico, but she pushed back on that.
