Washington. US President Donald Trump has stopped the planned fee levied on Mexico for a month. Mexico President Cloudia Shinbam said the decision was taken after a conversation with the US President. ‘White House’ has also confirmed this in a statement. Shinbam posted on ‘X’, “Mexico will immediately strengthen the northern border with the deployment of 10,000 members of the National Guard, to prevent drug trafficking including Fentaenyl from Mexico to the US.
He said that the US is also committed to prevent smuggling of powerful weapons in Mexico. The President of Mexico said that both countries would continue negotiating on security and trade. On the other hand, the fees announced by Trump against Canada and China are going to be implemented from Tuesday. In such a situation, there is uncertainty about global trade whether the fee can turn into a broader trade war. Significantly, Trump has promised to impose more import tax in the coming time.
Trump posted on social media that he spoke to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday morning and he would talk to him again at three in the afternoon. “Canada and Mexico plan to impose a fee against the US in response to American actions. Was, but Mexico is not doing so at the moment. Trump on Saturday signed an order to impose strict duty on goods imported from Mexico, Canada and China. In his post shared on the social media forum ‘X’, he said that these fees are ‘necessary for the protection of Americans’.
Trump announced an economic emergency to impose 10 percent on all imports from China and 25 percent duty on imports from Mexico and Canada. Energy imported from Canada, which includes oil, natural gas and electricity, will be taxed at a rate of 10 percent. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a serious tone, “The action taken by the White House today has separated us rather than united.” He said that his country would impose 25 percent duty on US imports up to $ 155 billion including alcohol and fruits. China has not immediately responded to Trump’s action.
