AI Summary: This is a policy document, specifically an Executive Order addressing border security and trade relations with Mexico. This regulation provides a pause on implementing additional 25% ad valorem tariffs on Mexican goods originally proposed in a February 1, 2025 Executive Order. The President determined that while Mexico has taken some initial steps to address illegal migration and drug trafficking, more time is needed to assess the effectiveness of these actions. The additional tariffs are temporarily suspended until March 4, 2025, during which time the Secretary of Homeland Security and other officials will continue to evaluate the situation at the southern border. If the illegal migration and drug trafficking crises worsen or Mexico fails to take sufficient steps, the President reserves the right to immediately implement the previously proposed tariffs. The order also includes standard legal provisions about severability and implementation, and clarifies that it does not create any new legal rights or benefits.
