President Trump pausing some tariffs on Mexico until April 2nd when reciprocal tariffs kick in for everyone. All Mexican goods under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement signed under the first Trump administration to replace NAFTA granted reprieve. President Trump posting to Truth Social, quote, I did this as an accommodation and out of respect for President Scheinbaum.

Unnamed Guest 3:17
His tariffs on allies like Canada will raise prices on energy, lumber and cars. Average American families can expect that these Trump tariffs are going to cost them about $2,000 annually. So considering the president ran on a platform about bringing down costs, he seems to be doing exactly the opposite.

What is the political reaction to Trump's tariff decisions?

Unnamed Guest 3:35
Trump started this. This is not only going to put pain and suffering for Canadian families. It's also going to be for Minnesota families and families all across the United States.
Megyn Kelly 3:45
Public support for tariffs falling along party lines. An Economist YouGov poll showing 68% of Republicans support a 25% tariff on Mexico versus only 11% of Democrats. On CNBC, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick pressed about the seemingly chaotic thinking of the White House. First, the tariffs were announced, then paused, then implemented, now paused again in some capacity.
Howard Lutnick 4:10
Are you unsure of what President Trump wants? I speak to him all the time. You've got to be kidding me. The president knows exactly what he wants. We know exactly what he wants. And our job is to try to execute exactly what he wants.
