  • Trump put 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico this week. Yesterday, he gave U.S.-made cars a break. Today, he is giving Mexico a broader exemption.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's latest tariff proposal targeting Mexico, which includes a one-month tariff break. This move is part of Trump's broader strategy to leverage tariffs as a tool for negotiation, particularly in response to issues like immigration and trade imbalances. The tariff break is intended to give Mexico time to address these concerns, especially the flow of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

This approach reflects Trump's ongoing use of economic pressure to influence foreign policy and domestic issues, stirring debate on its effectiveness and implications for international trade relations.
