Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Policy Analyst Nathan Dean discusses President Donald Trump saying he will exempt Mexico from his new 25% tariffs on any goods and services that fall under the North American trade agreement known as USMCA, offering a reprieve for a major US trading partner.
“This Agreement is until April 2nd,” Trump said in a social media post Thursday after speaking with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. “I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum.” The decision came shortly after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Trump was weighing an exemption for both Mexican and Canadian goods under the agreement, saying he expected Trump to officially decide the scope of the delay on Thursday.
