Tariffs on Mexico Suspended “Indefinitely”
After reaching an agreement with Mexico over preventing illegal immigration from the country into the United States, President Donald Trump tweeted late on Friday that he was suspending his plans to impose tariffs on Mexico “indefinitely”. He also stated that Mexico had agreed to take strict measures to stop such immigration and work toward stemming the “tide of Migration through Mexico, and to our Southern Border.”
Further, the U.S. State Department also released a U.S.-Mexico Joint Declaration which stated that a program would be established by the United States to return asylum seekers back to Mexico who cross over to America from the southern border.
However, on Sunday, Trump warned Mexico in a series of tweets. He said that if for any “unknown reason” the agreement fails, the United States would have to go ahead with the imposition of tariffs on Mexico.

Trump is due to meet with China’s Xi Jinping ta G-20 Summit later in this month. The meeting would be the first after both the countries imposed tariffs on each other in a major escalation of the ongoing trade war.
However, Trump stated on Monday that if Xi decided to skip the meeting, additional tariffs on China will be imposed immediately. Last week, Trump had also stated that if a trade deal with China is not reached soon, he would impose another round of tariffs on Chinese goods worth $300 billion.
Further, speaking to CNBC on Jun 10, Trump also stressed on the fact that China would make trade deal with America because “they’re going to have to.”
