The Mexican government continues to talk with the U.S. government on security and trade issues ahead of U.S. president Donald Trump's tariff pause deadline on March 4, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday.

Trump also plans to impose new tariffs to match the rates charged by other countries. Set to begin as soon as April, the tariffs could be higher than what other countries would charge as subsidies, regulatory barriers and the value added tax — which is akin to a sales tax common in Europe — would be included in the calculations.

U.S. President Donald Trump says tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports are still going forward despite efforts by both countries to boost border security and halt fentanyl ahead of the March 4 deadline.
