Trump Relaxes Tariffs on Mexico but Not Canada
Mexican goods will be exempted from 25% US tariffs for a month due to trade negotiations with President Trump. The U.S. president made this announcement after speaking with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who expressed willingness to continue cooperation on issues such as the opioid fentanyl crisis. However, no comparable reprieve was offered for Canada.

- What are the long-term consequences of this exemption for the global supply chain, particularly in industries heavily reliant on just-in-time delivery and precision timing?
