Trump sends soldiers to the Mexican border

washington - US President Donald Trump wants to deploy the army to guard the border with Mexico until a wall is built. He said that Tuesday in the White House. 'We're going to do things militarily,' he explained. He added that he had already discussed the idea with his defense minister, Jim Mattis.

Trump threatened to veto the new federal budget last month because it did not fully fund the wall. He did not do that in the end and still put a presidential scribble.

The wall must keep out illegal immigrants from Mexico and other South American countries.
