(Washington) Donald Trump announced Thursday that he had agreed with his Mexican counterpart Claudia Sheinbaum to extend customs duties currently imposed on Mexican products, while he threatened to bring surcharge to 30 %.
“We agreed to extend, over a period of 90 days, the same agreement we had on the last short period,” said the American president on his Truth Social network. This amounts to maintaining customs duties on incoming products in the United States outside the North American Free Trade Agreement (ACEUM) and specific customs duties on automotive, steel and aluminum duties at 25 %.
Donald Trump argued that Mexico would remove its “non -tariff trade barriers”, without providing details.

Mme Sheinbaum and Donald Trump had a phone call that the president of Mexico described on X as “very good”, because he opens the door in search of an agreement by dialogue.
“We have avoided the increase in customs duties announced for tomorrow [vendredi] And obtained 90 days to build a long -term agreement thanks to the dialogue, ”wrote the leftist president.
