MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday that she secured a pause on new tariffs coming into effect and a 90-day period to work on a trade deal in a call with U.S. President Donald Trump.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday imposing "reciprocal" tariffs ranging from 10 per cent to 41 per cent on U.S. imports from dozens of countries and foreign locations.

President Donald Trump and his Mexican counterpart Claudia Sheinbaum plan to speak by phone on Thursday morning, according to people familiar with the plans, as a Friday deadline to avoid a 30% tariff nears with no agreement between the US and its largest trade partner.
