Trump Extends Tariff Suspension on Mexico and Canada; Rowan University Adjusts DEI Policies

President Trump announced an extension of tariff suspensions on Mexican goods under the USMCA agreement until April 2, following discussions with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. The decision, made shortly after the tariffs were set to take effect, is framed as a gesture of respect and reflects ongoing collaboration on border security, immigration, and drug trafficking. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had previously hinted at a potential month-long suspension for both Mexico and Canada. Separately, Rowan University in New Jersey is adjusting its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies to align with new federal guidelines issued by the Trump Administration. The university president, Dr. Ali Houshmand, stated that Rowan University does not use racial preferences in admissions, hiring, or scholarships, and is reviewing its programs to ensure inclusivity and transparency.
