President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the pause on Trump's tariffs on Mexico. On his Truth Social network, the president emphasized that he made the deal with Mexico "as a form of adaptation and out of respect for President Sheinbaum." "Our relationship has been very good and we are working hard, together, at the border, both in terms of preventing illegal immigrants from entering the United States and also in stopping fentanyl. Thank you, President Sheinbaum, for your hard work and cooperation!" he wrote.
According to information from the Government, the event at the Plaza of the Constitution is scheduled for next Sunday at 12:00 PM. Claudia Sheinbaum's festival will be broadcasted through the official government channels on YouTube, X, and Facebook.

The cabinet of Claudia Sheinbaum was also called to the event, including the officials who negotiated the pause on Donald Trump's tariffs. The agreement with the U.S. president is that these tariffs will be suspended until Wednesday, April 2.
Sheinbaum mentioned that "by the way," she will talk to the people of Mexico about the election of the Judiciary that is scheduled for next Sunday, June 1. "(There will be) a lot of people, a great call was generated and I said the other day: One feels very strong because one feels the support of the people of Mexico," she added. The governors of the 31 states and the head of government of Mexico City had already confirmed their attendance at the event before the agreement with Donald Trump to pause the tariffs, Sheinbaum had said.
In her conference from the National Palace, the president of Mexico provided details of the call she had with Trump on the morning of this Thursday, March 6. Sheinbaum mentioned that the Government of Mexico presented to the United States a graph showing that fentanyl seizures at the border fell by 41 percent between January and February 2025. "Understand that, for me, the most important thing is my people and that I need to continue collaborating with you, but we need equality of circumstances," she added. The president also reminded Trump of the meeting that the Security cabinet of Mexico had in Washington where collaboration agreements were reached to combat crime. Donald Trump revealed the agreement first.
