Leaders in the affected countries scrambled to retaliate as President Trump signed an executive order over the weekend that would see the tariffs take effect on Tuesday.
Canada retaliated by imposing a 25% tariff on more than $100 billion of US goods, while China vowed to file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization against the United States.
On Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced her administration and President Trump reached a series of agreements that would delay the tariffs on Mexico for a month.
Sheinbaum said at a news conference that she spoke on the phone with Trump on Monday, describing it as a “long conversation.”
“We had a good conversation with President Trump with great respect for our relationship and sovereignty; we reached a series of agreements,” the Mexican president wrote on X.
Among the series of agreements includes Mexico’s immediate action to reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the country’s National Guard.
The bolstered National Guard presence will be to prevent drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl, Sheinbaum said.
