(NAFB.com) – President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum say their planned tariffs were on hold for a month to allow for more time for negotiations. The Associated Press says Mexico announced plans to deploy 10,000 members of its National Guard to the U.S. border to address drug trafficking. The announcement came after what President Trump described on social media as a “very friendly conversation” and said he looked forward to the upcoming discussions. Trump said the talks will be headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and representatives from the Mexican government. “I look forward to participating in the negotiations with President Sheinbaum as we attempt to achieve a deal between our two countries,” Trump added. As a condition of the talks, Sheinbaum laid out changes in border policies, and Trump confirmed Mexico’s deployment of troops.
