US President Donald Trump stated that the extension of the customs truce with Mexico, announced by the leader of that country on Tuesday, is a positive step because the country is already paying large customs duties that benefit the United States. "This is a positive development," Trump said, adding that Mexico is already making a significant contribution to the US economy through tariffs. Earlier, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced an agreement to extend the 30-day deal aimed at curbing the flow of migrants from Central America through the US southern border. The truce, originally agreed upon in June, was set to expire on Tuesday.
