Tens of thousands from across Mexico gather in the nation’s capital in a patriotic fiesta and show of unity.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum told supporters in a massive rally on Sunday that dialogue and respect had prevailed in achieving a pause on U.S. tariffs and that the sovereignty of Mexico would always come first.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she is confident her US counterpart Donald Trump won’t impose reciprocal tariffs on her nation’s exports next month as tensions between the top trading partners simmer.

President Donald Trump said tariffs on some goods from Canada and Mexico planned for April 2 “could go up,” and would not predict whether the United States will have a recession in 2025.

Next, Trump moved to exclude automobiles from the measures. And then on Thursday — two days into the new tariffs — Trump reversed course and said he would delay tariffs on many Canadian and Mexican goods until April 2. (Trump also has boosted tariffs on China by 10%, with retaliation by China expected in the coming days.)
