Trump: Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick to Lead ‘Big Negotiation with Mexico’ During Tariff PauseNick Gilbertson 3 Feb 2025
President Donald Trump announced on Monday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and his nominee for Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, will lead negotiations with Mexico during the month-long pause on freshly inked tariffs.
Trump reaffirmed his delegation while speaking with reporters at the White House after Mexican President Claudi Sheinbaum agreed to send 10,000 troops to the southern border to halt the flow of fentanyl. The agreement included a pause on the 25 percent tariff for imported goods from Mexico.
“We’re going to have Scott, Howard, and Marco… lead the delegation, and we’re going to have a big negotiation with Mexico,” Trump said.
“I’ll be involved too, and President Sheinbaum will be involved to see whether or not we can work something out on the tariffs,” he added.
When a reporter suggested that Mexico got “out” of the tariffs, Trump emphasized, “nobody’s out.”
