  • President Donald Trump has postponed 25% tariffs on many imports from Mexico and some imports from Canada for a month amid widespread fears of the economic fallout from a broader trade war.

The article from KSAT discusses former President Donald Trump's decision to delay some tariffs on Mexico and Canada, originally set to be implemented as part of his broader trade policy. This change in course was influenced by ongoing negotiations and the need to avoid immediate economic disruption. The tariffs, which were part of Trump's strategy to renegotiate trade deals, particularly the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), were postponed to allow more time for discussions and to mitigate potential negative impacts on the U.S. economy, especially in sectors like automotive manufacturing that rely heavily on cross-border trade. This move was seen as a tactical retreat to strengthen his position in future trade talks.
