Sheinbaum says US and Mexico to curb flow of fentanyl, guns
Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum said the US and Mexico would continue working together to tackle the illicit opioid fentanyl trade from Mexico into the US.
The Trump administration had pointed to drug trafficking as a key point of contention in negotiations over Washington’s 25% tariffs on Mexican imports.
“We had an excellent and respectful call in which we agreed that our work and collaboration have yielded unprecedented results, within the framework of respect for our sovereignties,” Sheinbaum said in a post on X.
Sheinbaum said that the two countries would also work to curb the flow of guns from the US to Mexico.

Trudeau: No end in sight for US-Canada trade war
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country would continue to be in a trade war with the United States for “the foreseeable future” even if there are “breaks for certain sectors,” referring to a possible new pause in recently imposed tariffs.
“Our goal remains to get these tariffs, all tariffs removed,” Trudeau said
The remarks came one day after an urgent call with US President Donald Trump to try to end what Trudeau called an “unjustified” trade war.
Discussions with the Trump administration were ongoing, the Canadian prime minister added. But so far, the two sides appear to not have reached a deal for a pause.
“As I’ve said a number of times, we will not be backing down from our response tariffs until such a time as the unjustified American tariffs on Canadian goods are lifted,” Trudeau added.

Trump delays most tariffs on Mexico until April
US President Donald Trump announced that he would pause tariffs he recently imposed on Mexican imports.
It comes after he held talks with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
Sheinbaum said the call with Trump was “excellent and respectful,” adding that it had led to “unprecedented results.”
Trump said in particular that tariffs would not apply to trade falling under the USMCA (formerly known as NAFTA) trade deal between the US, Mexico and Canada for now.
“This Agreement is until April 2nd,” he added in a social media post.
