Part 2/7:
In a recent deal, President Trump announced that Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has agreed to send 10,000 Mexican military troops to assist in patrolling the southern border, a measure intended to alleviate the border crisis. In exchange, Trump has consented to pause proposed tariffs on Mexican imports for 30 days. This pause underscores a broader strategy of using tariff threats as a tool for negotiation rather than merely as punitive measures against consumer goods.
