Trump agrees to pause tariffs on Mexico, Canada after they pledge to boost border enforcement
By JOSH BOAK, ROB GILLIES and FABIOLA SÁNCHEZ, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday held off on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada for 30 days after the two U.S. neighbors agreed to boost border security efforts.
Trump on Saturday had directed that 25% tariffs on most imports from the two American partners — and 10% on Canadian energy products — go into effect at midnight Tuesday. The two nations threatened retaliation of their own, raising the prospects of a broader regional trade war.
In a statement on X, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that on a call with Trump he pledged additional cooperation on border security. It follows similar moves by Mexico earlier Monday.
“Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together,” Trudeau said.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump held off Monday on his tariff threats against Mexico for one month of further negotiations after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to send 10,000 members of her country’s national guard to the border to address drug trafficking.
Star sighting: Tamron Hall at Magic Kingdom
Talk-show host Tamron Hall helped Walt Disney World kick off its Black History Month observation by visiting the Magic Kingdom theme park with family members.
Hall and five relatives, including her son, rode through the park as part of a parade with Disney characters on Saturday. They also took a ride on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster and had a meet-and-greet experience with Princess Tiana.
“To be here at the park and to see the diverse groups of people and families celebrating with us, this important moment of culture, of food, of music … I will tell you, my heart is full of joy and love and inspiration,” Hall said in an interview near Cinderella Castle while wearing a mouse-ear headband featuring Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and fireworks.
Disney’s Black history festivities are collected under a theme of “Celebrate Soulfully.” Among the showcased people and elements are Black artists, whose work is seen in the Epcot International Festival of Arts and at the Disney Springs Arts Walk, as well as character encounters and special menu items.
Wall Street swerves lower after Trump announces tariffs and then puts some on hold
By STAN CHOE, AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street swung between sharp and more modest losses on Monday as stock markets worldwide sank on concerns President Donald Trump’s tariffs may ignite a punishing trade war.
The S&P 500 was down 0.9% in afternoon trading after Asian and European indexes logged worse drops. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 155 points, or 0.4%, as of 1:11 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1.4% lower.
The U.S. stock market had been on track for a much worse loss itself, with the Dow down 665 points shortly after the start of trading, on worries about how much pain U.S. companies would feel because of the tariffs. Some of the heaviest losses hit Big Tech and other companies that could be hurt most by the higher interest rates that could ultimately result from the U.S. tariffs announced on imports from Canada, Mexico and China.
But U.S. stocks pared their losses after Mexican President President Claudia Sheinbaum said tariffs on her country’s goods are on hold for a month following a conversation with Trump.
