Mexico seems to have gotten the message from the United States about illegal immigration, drug and human trafficking. The President of Mexico has released a statement after a phone conversation with President Trump.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum reports publicly:
“We had a good conversation with President Trump with great respect for our relationship and sovereignty; we reached a series of agreements:
1. Mexico will immediately reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard to prevent drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl.
2. The United States is committed to working to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico.
3. Our teams will begin working today on two fronts: security and trade.
4. They are pausing tariffs for one month from now.”

I am really glad about this. This is exactly, precisely the type of approach the United States sought and is a testament to the intellect and common sense of the Mexico government.
We here in the US know and understand that our economy is inextricably intertwined with Mexico. We need and value that relationship.
But for us, the situations with Illegal immigration and the movement of hard drugs into our country has become a literal horror for us. 100,000+ Americans KILLED every year by illegal Fentanyl. Millions of people swarming over our border - ILLEGALLY -- for years! These issues became enough of a horror that we are compelled to take harsh action to confront and stop these problems.
Mexico adopted the right approach and the right path.
No one wants Tariffs. No one wants an economic trade war.
Thankfully, common sense seems to have prevailed with Mexico.
Those of us in the United States earnestly hope Canada will undertake similar actions and derive similar benefit.
