UPDATE: Canada also struck a last-minute deal with the U.S. to avert tariffs. Praise God!

Following President Trump’s threats of tariffs, Mexico has decided to assist the United States in securing the border and stopping the flow of fentanyl. Will the other nations facing tariffs follow suit?

From The Daily Wire. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday that she is moving 10,000 members of the country’s National Guard to the U.S./Mexico border to stop drug trafficking.

Sheinbaum made the announcement after speaking earlier in the day with President Donald Trump following his decision to hit the country with 25% tariffs for not doing more to stop the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.

“Mexico will immediately reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard to prevent drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl,” she said in a statement. …

She also said that the Trump administration agreed to pause the implementation of tariffs for one month. …

From National Review. President Donald Trump on Saturday followed through on his threat to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China in an effort to spur those countries to do more to curb illegal immigration to the U.S. and to stop the flow of illegal drugs.

Trump announced that he was imposing 25 percent tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, though the tariffs on Canadian energy imports will be limited to 10 percent, according to news reports. He also added an additional 10 percent tariff on imports from China.

The tariffs are slated to go into effect on Tuesday, according to the New York Times. They can be escalated if any of the countries retaliate — heightening the threat of a trade war and increasing the likelihood that prices for American consumers and businesses will rise. …

The White House told reporters that there would be no process for companies to get special exemptions from the tariffs. The most important metrics to determine if they tariffs could be removed would be if fewer Americans die of fentanyl and if there is a reduction in the amount of drugs recovered at the border, according to the Times.

Before Trump officially announced the tariffs on Saturday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed  “a forceful and immediate response” if they were imposed. Canada exports about 75 percent of its goods and services to the U.S.

Trump threatened on the campaign trail to place retaliatory tariffs on the three countries to ensure their cooperation in halting illegal immigration and combating the smuggling of precursor chemicals used to produce fentanyl. …

Gracious Heavenly Father,
In ALL THINGS We EXALT and BLESS YOUR HOLY NAME and give YOU ALL the GLORY and HONOR for helping to SECURE our border, and reduce the entrance of deadly drugs which harm our children and families. PRAISE YOU! YOU are the One Who established the borders of nations, that people groups may live in safety and in community! (Exodus 23:31, Acts 17:26, Deut. 32:8, Neh. 9:22, Ps. 74:17). Thank You for a strong President–BLESS and IMPART via the Fire of the HOLY SPIRIT a “Fear of God, Wisdom, Discernment, Counsel-Intel, Instruction, Sound Judgment, Understanding and the POWER of THE HOLY SPIRIT in Donald J. Trump, please ABBA! (Proverbs 8 and Proverbs 9:1) Oil his shield afresh today! (Is. 21) Grant him visions, dreams and visitations which not only impart Your Plans for America, but also refresh him for the battle has been LONG and INTENSE.
Father, as Mexico polices its borders, we pray that You would RAISE UP a STRONG BELIEVING BIBLICALLY MINDED-REMNANT in Mexico to wage strong spiritual warfare against the cartels and to welcome in the Holy Spirit to transform Mexico–for the sake of her people, who suffer under the wicked Spirit of Pharmakeia & Violence. “Nothing is impossible with YOU” (Luke 1:37), so as America advances to establish borders and our Covenantal Destiny in Christ Jesus, to KEEP the VOWS we made in 1607, 1720, 1630 and 1776, we ask the same thing for those in Mexico, and that their leadership would serve the people of Mexico with concern for their welfare.
We also lift UP Canada and the beleaguered Canadian Ekklesia! Oh BLESS them Holy Father! Pour Your LOVE, MERCY and STRENGTHENING into them and PURGE and CLEANSE Canada The True North Strong and Free–to return REFINED into the REALITY of their national motto! UNIFY Western Canada, Eastern Canada and the FIRST NATIONS TRIBAL PEOPLES–via the RECONCILIATION which can only come through the BLOOD of JESUS! LET them BECOME ONE in CHRIST JESUS is our prayer for our Northern Neighbors–freed from the years of the harm done to them by the Trudeau regime.
Holy ABBA–in Your Great Mercy–please RELEASE the HEALING BALM of GILEAD (Jer. 8:22) into America, into Mexico and into Canada! LET LIGHT SHINE in the Darkness so that
ONLY JESUS gains the GLORY!

In Jesus’ Name we ask all this for HIS GLORY! Amen! Amen!

    Yes, Michelle!! The things that they are being asked to do will not only benefit us as a nation, but will benefit them as well. May they see that, and may our nations experience healing and restoration – and fulfill our God-given destinies individually and together.

Lord, I praise and thank you for the new Mexican president, Ms. Sheinbaum. She has already proved to be very intelligent and competent by capturing and incarcerating the head of the Sinaloa cartel (largest drug traffikers) and confiscating tons of fentanel. I was so grateful to hear that Mr.Vance is negotiating with her. Please continue to strengthen the cooperation between our countries and bless Mexican leadership who promote your purposes for their nation. Amen
