Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corvick Coleman. Two days after President Trump imposed 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, he's taken steps to relax them again. First, he paused tariffs on imported goods related to the U.S. auto industry. Now, he's offered relief to Canadian and Mexican goods that are covered by a mutual trade agreement. And Pierre's

Ader Peralta reports on Mexico's response. Mexican President Claudia Shainbaum said that during a phone

call, she walked President Trump through a set of his own government statistics. They showed a huge

drop in the amount of fentanyl being seized by border authorities. I asked him, how can we continue to collaborate if the U.S. is doing something that hurts the Mexican people?
