Washington (AP) -The US President Donald Trump has agreed to dispatch 10,000 members to the border to deal with drug trafficking to deal with drug trafficking. The tariff threat to Mexico was suppressed on Monday.
Trump tariffs on Canada and China were scheduled to come into effect on Tuesday, but since Trump has promised many imported taxes in the future, it is uncertain whether the durability and tariffs of transactions are a higher trade war. Gender remained.
Canadian officials said that Canada was not convinced that it could avoid the approaching tariff like Mexico. That’s because Canada feels more like Mexico’s demands of Canada. The official stated on an anonymity because it was not allowed to speak publicly.
Canada asked Canada on Monday afternoon that Canada can provide something that can be provided in negotiations, and Trump told a reporter who gathered in an elliptical office, “I don’t know.”
The US and Mexico leaders said that Trump explained on social media as “very friendly conversation” and said he was looking forward to the future lectures.
Mr. Trump said that the talks were led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the Ministry of Finance, Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary Comership Howard Rutonic, and a high -level representative of Mexico.
“We look forward to participating in negotiations with President Shainbaum when we try to achieve” transactions “between the two countries,” said the President.
As a condition before the discussion, Symbaum revealed changes in border policy, and Trump confirmed the development of the Mexican army.
“Mexico will soon strengthen the northern border with 10,000 members of the state soldiers to stop the drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, especially Fentanyl,” Symbaum posted to X. -A powerful weapon to Mexico. “
Trump talked with Prime Minister Justin Todoro on Monday morning on Monday morning, and at 3:00 pm, both Canada and Mexico had a plan to collect their tariffs according to US actions, but Mexico was Mexico. I posted it to social media that Mexico has postponed. for a moment.
Trump uses social media posts, despite the decades and partnerships, despite the decades and partnerships from World War II to the September 11 terrorist attacks. I repeated the complaint.
“Canada has not allowed US banks to open or do business,” Trump posted. “What is it? Many of them are also drug wars, hundreds of thousands of people ran through the border between Mexico and Canada in the United States.”
Financial markets, companies, and consumers are trying to prepare for new tariffs. We hope that the stock market will be opened with modest selling, pushing up inflation, and will be a short -lived import tax that can confuse world trade and growth.
However, the outlook reflects the deep uncertainty about the President of the Republican Party, which was discussed by worship of tariffs, and the US government made mistakes by switching to income tax as a major source of income in 1913. It is even reflected.
Trump stated on Sunday that if Canada and Mexico did more to crack down on the smuggling of illegal immigrants and Fentanyl, there is no clear benchmark. Trump also stated that the United States could no longer operate trade imbalance with two largest trade partners.
Mexico faces a 25 % tariff, but Canada is charged 25 % for imports to the United States and 10 % for energy products. According to the White House, China has faced 10 % of additional duties for the role of Fentanyl’s production and sales.
Kevin Hasset, the director of the White House National Economic Council, stated that it would be misleading to feature confrontation as a trade war despite the planned retaliation and escalation risks.
“Read the presidential decree where President Trump’s absolutely exists. Make it 100 % clear that this is not a trade war,” he said. “This is a drug war.”
However, even if the order was focusing on illegal drugs, Trump’s own remarks often have more than his perception that foreign countries have tilted the United States by operating trade surplus. On Sunday, Trump said tariffs soon in the European Union. He discussed tariffs as both diplomatic tools on national security issues, ways to raise income, and to re -negotiate existing trade agreements.
Several economists other than the administration warn that tariffs would push prices to hinder growth, and Trump himself had a campaign last year with the promise that he could keep inflation. He says that there is pain.
