It’s reported that the US is considering to delaying the 5% tariffs on all Mexican imports, which is due on Monday, June 10. But White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders reiterated Trump is still moving forward with the tariffs.
After the meeting on Thursday, US Vice President Mike Pence said Mexico had offered “more”. “There has been some movement on their part. It’s been encouraging,” he said. “The discussions are going to continue in the days ahead.” Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said 6000 members of the National Guard were sent to secure its southern border with Guatemala.
