Trump said earlier Monday that he’d be speaking with China soon. kra28.at Trump paused the tariffs on America’s neighbors after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made commitments, some of which they’d already made, to bolster security at their respective borders with the United States. kra28 at “I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican Soldiers on the Border separating Mexico and the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social earlier Monday.

“These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl, and illegal migrants into our country,” he wrote.

He took to Truth Social with a similar announcement later in the day, after Trudeau first announced the 30-day pause.
