In response to President Trump's tariff threats, Mexico has deployed 10,000 National Guard troops to reinforce its northern border against drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl smuggling. This move follows Trump's decision to delay imposing tariffs on Mexican goods for a month. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's promise to enhance border security comes as the U.S. also commits to reducing gun trafficking into Mexico, which exacerbates cartel violence. This collaboration aims to address both nations' concerns about drug smuggling and border security in regions like Ciudad Juarez and Tijuana.
"There will be permanent surveillance on the border," Jose Luis Santos Iza, one of the National Guard leaders, stated, emphasizing the focus on preventing drug trafficking, especially fentanyl.
