President Donald Trump posted on social media that he and Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum have agreed to extend the current tariff agreement between the U.S. and Mexico for 90 days to continue conversations.
“The complexities of a Deal with Mexico are somewhat different than other Nations because of both the problems, and assets, of the Border. We have agreed to extend, for a 90 Day period, the exact same Deal as we had for the last short period of time,” Trump wrote.
This means a 25% tariff on non-USMCA compliant goods from Mexico, as well as a 50% tariff on steel, aluminum, copper and derivative products will remain in place.
Mexico has agreed to immediately terminate its non-tariff trade barriers, according to Trump.
