U.S., Mexico Reach Deal to Avoid Tariffs

On June 7, 2019, the United States and Mexico reached a deal to combat the migration crisis that averted the U.S. imposing tariffs on Mexico and possible Mexican retaliation. The deal delays the threat of the 5 percent escalating tariffs on all Mexican imports that were set to go into effect on June 10, 2019.

The United States and Mexico commit to:

  1. Mexican Enforcement Surge; and
  2. Migrant Protection Protocol

Both parties agree that if the measures adopted do not have the expected results, they will take further actions.

A review of the agreed upon actions to address irregular migrant flows and asylum issues will be done within 90 days and new measures will be implemented if necessary.
