Avocados are ready to be smashed for Super Bowl parties, as President Donald Trump said Mexico agreed to his terms to help secure the border.
Here’s what Trump wrote on TruthSocial at 10:41 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday:
“I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican Soldiers on the Border separating Mexico and the United States. These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl, and illegal migrants into our Country. We further agreed to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs for a one month period during which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and high-level Representatives of Mexico. I look forward to participating in those negotiations, with President Sheinbaum, as we attempt to achieve a ‘deal’ between our two Countries.”
The agreement delays the announced 25% tariffs that were to take effect on Tuesday.
Vice President JD Vance stated the obvious with this comment on X: “For three days a lot of the far left has actively rooted against America and argued we’d get nothing out of President Trump’s demands that Mexico secure its country. Well, how do you like them apples?”
During the Biden Administration, more than 8 million illegals were “encountered” coming over the border from Mexico, and many millions went un-encountered as Biden sought to flood the United States with illegals and change the national electoral map by adding more illegal population to border states of Arizona and Texas. Trump’s mandate from voters is to secure the U.S. borders.
The 25% tariff on Canadian goods is still set to go into effect on Tuesday. Last week, Canada Foreign Minister Melanie Joly met with three Senate liberal Democrats and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski when she was in Washington, D.C. Murkowski, a Republican, is seen as a leader in the anti-Trump movement among Democrats, and Joly was shoring up support for Canada’s resistance to President Trump’s demands that fentanyl and illegal aliens stop pouring across the northern border. Murkowski did not advertise the visit with Joly, who posted a photo of the meeting on her own official X page.
On Sunday, Panama said it will not renew its “Belt and Road” contract with China, and this weekend Venezuela released Americans it had held in captivity.
