President Donald Trump's strategy to impose tariffs is resulting in rapid results, as Mexico has agreed to send thousands of its troops to help secure its border with America in exchange for a temporary pause in tariffs on its products.

"I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico," Trump posted on Truth Social.

"It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican Soldiers on the Border separating Mexico and the United States.

"These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl, and illegal migrants into our Country.

"We further agreed to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs for a one month period during which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and high-level Representatives of Mexico.

"I look forward to participating in those negotiations, with President Sheinbaum, as we attempt to achieve a 'deal' between our two Countries."

It's not just Mexico that has been targeted for tariffs by Trump. America's northern neighbor of Canada is also in U.S. crosshairs.

Trump said Monday morning: "Canada doesn't even allow U.S. Banks to open or do business there. What's that all about?"

"Many such things, but it's also a DRUG WAR, and hundreds of thousands of people have died in the U.S. from drugs pouring through the Borders of Mexico and Canada.

"Just spoke to Justin Trudeau. Will be speaking to him again at 3:00 P.M."
