Trump's Tariff Tango: Global Trade Shifts Amid U.S. Pressure
President Donald Trump has granted Mexico a 90-day tariff extension while negotiating a broader trade deal. This pause prevents a 30% tariff on several Mexican goods compliant with the USMCA. Other nations, including India and Brazil, face increased tariffs as Trump's deadline for new trade agreements approaches.

In a significant trade policy maneuver, U.S. President Donald Trump has offered Mexico a 90-day reprieve from looming increased tariffs. This extension gives both nations time to negotiate a more comprehensive trade deal, amid threats of new duties on non-automotive Mexican imports.
The impending tariffs, aimed at numerous countries, come as Trump seeks to reconfigure global trade dynamics. Countries like South Korea, India, and Brazil face varying duties, tied to both economic agreements and geopolitical stances. New Delhi's ongoing negotiations underscore this tense global negotiation climate.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to justify his broad tariff strategy using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, despite judicial skepticism. The administration's fragmented approach with China remains a critical point, as both Washington and Beijing inch towards a conclusive agreement amidst the ongoing tariff skirmish.
