On Friday, after a week of negotiations with Mexico, President Donald Trump "indefinitely delayed" tariffs on all Mexican goods, allegedly going into effect today. In return, Mexico will take "unprecedented steps" to curb illegal migration.

On Saturday, officials from both countries admitted that the actions to avoid tariffs were taken "months ago."
