July 31 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he won't raise tariffs on Mexican goods Friday for 90 days, in hopes that a new trade deal can be arranged.
Trump posted to his Truth Social account that he had spoken with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on the phone, in a call he described as "very successful in that, more and more, we are getting to know and understand each other."
Sheinbaum also spoke of the call Thursday, posting to X that "We had a very good call with the President of the United States, Donald Trump."
"We avoided the tariff increase announced for [Friday] and secured 90 days to build a long-term agreement through dialogue," she added.
