President Trump on Friday called off his plan to implement tariffs on Mexican goods.
Trump made the announcement on Twitter around 8:30 p.m.:
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo more formally announced the agreement shortly thereafter.
The announcement avoids what economists and Republicans feared would be damaging to the U.S. economy.

The agreement also calls for Mexico to offer jobs, health care and education.
