In a confrontation with the main problems that lasted the weekend and until Monday, Trump promised to put costs to the members of the industry closest to the United States, which are in combination more than 40% of US imports, to force them to force them their requests.
Trump promoted Canada, Mexico and China to avoid border migrants flows, one of its main internal policy problems, as well as in the anger of mortal drugs and offer the United States to the best situations in terms of advertising relations.
Canada and Mexico won suspended on Monday after Trump agreed to keep the costs of 25%, which would take effect on Tuesday, for a month. This resolution came after President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico promised the American-Mexican border with 10,000 members of her national guard. Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, said Canada would designate a fentanyl tsar, would release a joint strike force to fight organized crime and the list of posters as terrorists, among other stages.
China won a rest and Trump said Monday that the 10% costs that will come into force on Tuesday were only a “opening save. “
