US President Donald Trump has said Mexico will not be required to pay tariffs on goods that come under the trade pact between the two countries and Canada until 2 April.
Trump has not confirmed if the suspension also applies to Canada, but its northern neighbour is expecting an exemption of the "same nature".
"After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement. This Agreement is until April 2nd," Trump wrote on the Truth Social network.
"I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum. Our relationship has been a very good one, and we are working hard, together, on the Border, both in terms of stopping Illegal Aliens from entering the United States and, likewise, stopping Fentanyl [smuggling]," the US President went on.
"Thank you to President Sheinbaum for your hard work and cooperation!" he added.
