Just days after enforcing a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico, President Donald Trump has reversed course. Trump’s tariffs on Mexico went into effect at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. As of Thursday morning, the president said he will delay the tax on goods under the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement until April 2.

Texas's trade relationship with Mexico has supported hundreds of thousands of jobs and brought in billions in capital investment to the state.

Texas exported $450 billion in goods and services in 2023, putting it at risk in President Trump's trade war within China, Canada and Mexico.

The president said Mexico and Canada have failed to curb the flow of drugs into the U.S. after giving the countries 30 days to do so before enacting the tariffs.

Tariffs against Mexico and Canada have only been in place for a day — and questions remain on how long they’ll be in place — but the effects are already being felt along the border.
