At the same time, administration officials have considered delaying the tariffs to give Mexico time to prepare a solution, according to people familiar with the matter. "At this point the tariffs are going to be imposed on Monday,” Pence said in Pennsylvania. But the official said U.S. negotiators recognize that Mexico is taking the talks seriously and working quickly to address Trump’s concerns. Before imposing tariffs on Mexico, Trump would need to declare a national emergency. Pence’s comments came after an afternoon meeting between U.S. and Mexican officials, who met again Thursday evening.
