JUST IN: Mexico CAVES In Yet Another Big Win For President Trump’s Trade Agenda

President Trump has just secured yet another huge victory for his trade agenda!

Today, he negotiated another trade deal over the phone with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Under these new terms, Mexico agrees to pay significant tariffs on its biggest imports to the U.S. — including cars, fentanyl, aluminum, steel, and copper.

That’s great news in and of itself, but the deal gets even better…

President Trump got Mexico to drop all of their non-tariff trade barriers, which are basically measures that restrict U.S. imports into their country.

In practice, this will boost U.S. exports to Mexico and opens the door for American businesses to sell goods much more freely.

President Trump announced the new deal on Truth Social.

Read President Trump’s full statement here:

I have just concluded a telephone conversation with the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, which was very successful in that, more and more, we are getting to know and understand each other. The complexities of a Deal with Mexico are somewhat different than other Nations because of both the problems, and assets, of the Border. We have agreed to extend, for a 90 Day period, the exact same Deal as we had for the last short period of time, namely, that Mexico will continue to pay a 25% Fentanyl Tariff, 25% Tariff on Cars, and 50% Tariff on Steel, Aluminum, and Copper. Additionally, Mexico has agreed to immediately terminate its Non Tariff Trade Barriers, of which there were many. We will be talking to Mexico over the next 90 Days with the goal of signing a Trade Deal somewhere within the 90 Day period of time, or longer. Present at the meeting were Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, United States Trade Representative and Ambassador Jamieson Greer, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, and United States Homeland Security Advisor, Stephen Miller. There will be continued cooperation on the Border as it relates to all aspects of Security, including Drugs, Drug Distribution, and Illegal Immigration into the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed in her own post on X:

This deal with Mexico marks the latest trade win for President Trump.

In the past week, he has also scored big trade deals with the EU (the biggest one yet!) and South Korea.

And, he’s not done yet. President Trump is continuing to work on deals with countries around the world ahead of a tentative August 1st deadline for his ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs to go into effect.

AP News has more:

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at Thursday’s news briefing that Trump “at some point this afternoon or later this evening” would sign an order to impose new rates starting at 12:01 a.m. EDT Friday. Countries that had not received a prior letter from Trump or negotiated a framework would be notified of their likely tariff rates, either by letter or executive order, she said.

The unknowns created a sense of drama that have defined Trump’s rollout of tariffs over several months, with the one consistency being his desire to levy the import taxes that most economists say will ultimately be borne to some degree by U.S. consumers and businesses.

Trump imposed the Friday deadline after his previous “Liberation Day” tariffs in April resulted in a stock market panic. His unusually high tariff rates unveiled in April led to recession fears, prompting Trump to impose a 90-day negotiating period. When he was unable to create enough trade deals with other countries, he extended the timeline and sent out letters to world leaders that simply listed rates, prompting a slew of hasty deals.

Trump reached a deal with South Korea on Wednesday, and earlier with the European Union, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines. His commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, said on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” that there were agreements with Cambodia and Thailand after they had agreed to a ceasefire to their border conflict.

Among those uncertain about their trade status were wealthy Switzerland and Norway.

Norwegian Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg said it was “completely uncertain” whether a deal would be completed before Trump’s deadline.
