WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he has indefinitely suspended the threat of tariffs against Mexico after reaching "a signed agreement" on immigration.

"I am pleased to inform you that The United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico," Trump said on Twitter. "The Tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the U.S. on Monday, against Mexico, are hereby indefinitely suspended," he said.

"Mexico, in turn, has agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of Migration through Mexico, and to our Southern (NYSE:SO) Border. This is being done to greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States," Trump said.

Trump want focus trade war with China
Art of the deal. Long live the Don
If implemented, those tariffs will hurt American public & economy. Trump had to retreat from his reckless threat as even Republicans are against it. Those so called promises are just for Trump to save face. Quite clear, not nearly enough to address the problem.
be quiet
Good job POTUS!!! 2020 in sight as past campaign promises become a present reality.
Our Southern border has a stock ticket...I'm in.
Mexico sends some ppl to border for picnic instead of help build few hundred mile wall. Mexico is like China, trying to hold out long as possible hoping for a 2020 new president so they can withdraw troops and not pay for the wall.
What a joke. Solved in less than a week. Now tariffs now no tariffs. That president...
it was obvious Mexico deal will be, China deal will not
US told Mexico that companies are moving their supply chain from Chins to Mexico, if they want all that business, get their act together on the southern border
From China to Mexico
Trump chickened out again.
Trump caved, huge sign of weakness. Cartels control mexican government, immigrants, and drugs, Trump should be in NY making a real deal with El Chapo.
