President Donald Trump announced a temporary pause on the 25% tariffs for imports from Mexico that comply with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), following discussions with Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Far from defending “the people of Mexico,” the Morena party government represents the transnational corporations and their Mexican capitalist clients above all.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum told cheering crowds Sunday that she is confident that her country has headed off the threat of US tariffs for now.
