US President Donald Trump Declare It will “stop immediately” the definitions of Mexico and Canada for 30 days after talking to their leaders on Monday.

However, the 10 percent customs tariffs on all exports of China fall on Tuesday.

So what led to this decision, and why was it announced a temporary stop?

What happened between the United States, Canada, Mexico and China?

On February 1, Trump signed executive orders that impose a 25 percent tariff on Mexico and Canada, with a partial exemption for Canadian energy and oil exports, and a 10 percent tariff in China.

Trump also spoke against the high trade deficit in goods with the three countries with which it increases by more than $ 480 billion. China, Mexico and Canada combined more than 40 percent of the United States’ imports last year at $ 1.2 trillion.

He said that these definitions will remain in place until the two countries have taken steps to reduce the flow of migrants and drugs, especially fentanel, to the United States. Definitions are risked by increasing the cost of goods online and pushing uncertainty in the global market due to the risk of a sharp slowdown in global growth.

However, on Monday, the leaders of Mexico and Canada have concluded deals at the last minute, stopping the imminent definitions.

Mexico President Claudia Shinbom announced the deployment of 10,000 National Guard officers on the border to reduce drug trafficking and migrants to the United States after speaking with Trump.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also made two calls with Trump, after which he announced a 30 -day stand in the American definitions. On the other hand, Canada agreed to send forces to the border to fight drug trafficking and unrelated immigration, as the new American administration requested.

Meanwhile, the customs tariffs entered 10 percent imposed on China at 12:01 am US ES (05:01 GMT) on Tuesday.

China imposed a retaliatory tariff on a group of American commodities and products, including a 15 percent tax on the imports of coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Beijing also slapped 10 percent of the customs tariffs on crude oil imports and agricultural equipment.

Amid the war of tariffs, Trump said he intends to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the coming days.

I received a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our border plan of $ 1.3 billion – strengthening borders with new helicopters, technology and employees, enhancing coordination with our American partners, and increasing resources to stop the flow of fentanel. almost …

Why did Trump decided to stop the definitions?

According to the experts, the primary goal of the definitions was to “achieve the goals of Trump’s foreign policy and Trump’s policy strategically, and that was the stopping Ventanil flowing illegal drugs In the United States, “Kimberly Halkit of the island of the White House mentioned.

“You have to remember that fentanel is responsible for about 70,000 excessive deaths in the United States every year. While a lot of attention has focused on Mexico and the southern borders, US officials have also identified Canada and the northern borders as major entry points for the drug.”

According to a report issued by the New York Times, in 2024, customs agents and US border protection seized approximately 19 kg (42 rugs) of fentanel on the northern border, on the blatant contrast with nearly 9,600 kg (21,164 pounds) in US. Mexican borders, where cartals produce drugs.

Julian Karagoyan, a professor of McGill in economics, suggests that this conflict may end.

“It is possible that President Trump was only trying to make a offer, but also a promise of the campaign and create a set of activity to show his base and show the broader American audience that he does not fulfill the promises of his campaign, but he said Karaguisian:” Do this with great bias. “

What is the following for China?

Trump has repeatedly criticized China because of allowing fentanel to flood to the United States, accusing Beijing of not doing enough to reduce both fake fentanel and fentanil.

China has described the Vintanel crisis “America’s problem”.

“China is one of the most difficult countries in the world in drugs alike and its implementation. Fintanel is a problem for the United States. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that in the spirit of humanity and good faith, China has provided support for the United States to respond to this issue.

“It is important to remember that PRC [People’s Republic of China] He was already facing a tariff imposed by the Trump administration during its first term, and it was never managed. Ja Ian Chung, of the National University of Singapore, told Al Jazerera:

“Until now, China has responded relatively calmly, indicating that the 10 percent customs tariffs are something they can tolerate. While the PRC economy slowed, they have diversified to other markets and promoting local consumption. We will have to see how this strategy is revealed.”

During his first term in 2018, Trump launched a severe trade war for two years with China, and a tariff of about $ 50 billion in Chinese imports.

“We have a huge problem in theft of intellectual property. It will make us a stronger and richer nation,” Trump said in 2018.

To end that trade war, China agreed in 2020 To increase its annual purchases of US goods by $ 200 billion, but the plan was suspended by the Covid-19 pandemic, and Washington’s annual trade deficit with China remained above $ 300 billion, according to Chinese customs data last month.

China, the second largest economy in the world, says that “raising the tariff unilaterally” by the United States “seriously violates the rules of the World Trade Organization.” It also launched an investigation to combat monopoly in Google and impose controls on rare land exports that are decisive to manufacture semiconductor.

What happens in the next thirty days?

It is not completely clear yet. But analysts say the Trump administration is likely to have negotiations with Mexico in the next thirty days.

“The great concern of Donald Trump is the flow of illegal materials, Ventanil, as well as illegal immigration to the United States, which is already addressed by the American president through an executive order,” Halkhet said from Al -Jazeera.

Al -Jazeera correspondent said that US officials will negotiate the trade deficit with Mexico next month. The US trade deficit with Mexico is more than $ 100 billion.

On the northern border, Trump said he was very happy with the result of negotiations, but he was also looking for a “final economic deal.”

“I am very pleased with this initial result, and the definitions announced on Saturday will be stopped for 30 days to see if a final economic deal with Canada can be organized,” Trump also posted on social media. “Equity for everyone!”

Trump also expressed his interest in becoming Canada is the 51st state of the United States, the idea of ​​Trudo’s refusal.

On Monday, Canada also released important ads.

Canada has agreed to name Mexican drugs as terrorist organizations. We will name the “Caesar” fentanel as a result of the conversation between Prime Minister Trudeau and President Trump. Julian Karaguisian, a professor of economics at McGill University in Canada, said:

“While those obligations made by Canada have succeeded in obtaining a one -month delay in imposing definitions,” I do not personally think this is the end of the story, “Karagoyisian said.
