President Claudia Sheinbaum has agreed to send 10,000 additional members of Mexico's National Guard to the U.S. border to curb drug trafficking, mainly fentanyl, as part of a negotiation with President Trump to delay tariffs on Mexico. The National Guard, which is relatively new and controlled by the military, is tasked with preventing illegal immigration and drug smuggling. The troops will be redeployed from other areas, although details regarding costs and specific locations remain unspecified. This move echoes previous efforts by former President Lopez Obrador to address migration issues under U.S. pressure.
