Mexico and the United States are nearing an agreement aimed at combating drug trafficking and violence, a development that has led President Donald Trump to postpone planned tariff increases on Mexican goods. Sources indicate that this security deal could be finalized as soon as next week and is viewed as a preliminary step toward a broader trade agreement between the two countries. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has expressed confidence in the negotiations, highlighting that Mexico maintains "the best possible agreement" with the U.S. following discussions with Trump. Sheinbaum emphasized the strength and dignity of the Mexican people and the importance of honesty in her administration, referencing the historical phrase by Benito Juárez that "there cannot be a rich government with a poor people." The deal reflects efforts to address some of Trump's key concerns regarding Mexico and is seen as a foundation for further cooperation on trade.
