Mexico Deploys 10,000 Troops to US Border

Following the suspension of President Trump's 25% tariff on Mexican imports, Mexico has sent 10,000 National Guard troops to the US border to combat drug smuggling. The move comes after a phone call between Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and US President Donald Trump, where Sheinbaum proposed the deployment of troops to enhance border security.

National Guard leader Jose Luis Santos Iza emphasized the importance of continuous surveillance at the border, particularly to prevent drug trafficking, including fentanyl, from Mexico to the US. The decision to deploy troops was part of the joint efforts between the two countries to address the issue of drug smuggling.
