Trump extends trade discussions in Mexico at 90 additional days, maintains the prices in place – National
President Donald Trump said Thursday that there would be a 90 -day negotiation period with Mexico after an appeal with the head of this country, Claudia Sheinbaum, while the 25% rate rates remain in place.
Trump, publishing on Truth Social, said that his telephone conversation with Sheinbaum has been very successful in that, more and more, we get to know and understand each other. “
Trump said the goods from Mexico imported to the United States would continue to cope with a 25% rate that the American president has ostensibly linked to fentanyl trafficking. The Republican said that cars would face 25%prices, while copper, aluminum and steel would be taxed at 50%.
Trump said Mexico would end his “non -pricing trade barriers”, but he did not provide details.

Some goods continue to be protected from prices by the Mexico Canada 2020 US Agreement, or USMCA, which Trump has negotiated during his first mandate.
But Trump seemed to be embittered on this agreement, which is in place for renegotiation next year. One of his first important movements as president was the price of goods in Mexico and Canada earlier this year.
The figures from the US census office show that the United States has led a commercial imbalance of $ 171.5 billion with Mexico last year. This means that the United States has bought more goods in Mexico than in the country.
The imbalance with Mexico increased the day after the USMCA because it only cost $ 63.3 billion in 2016, the year before Trump started his first mandate.
In addition to tackling fentanyl traffic, Trump was made to fill the commercial lake.
Sheinbaum celebrated the price break in an article on X, saying that his call with Trump was “very good” and that Mexico “avoided the increase in the price announced for tomorrow”.
