Progress on the Situation at Our Southern Border

Executive Order February 10, 2025 Document 2025-02479

Summary

In a recent executive order, President Donald Trump announced a pause on imposing a 25% tariff on Mexican products, initially set to start on February 4, 2025, now delayed until March 4, 2025. This decision comes in response to Mexico's efforts to address illegal migration and drug trafficking, which the U.S. views as significant threats to its national security. The move holds potential economic and diplomatic implications, as further assessments will determine if the tariffs will be enacted, depending on Mexico's continued cooperation in mitigating these issues.
