Donald Trump announced the sending of armed soldiers to the border after an altercation with the Mexican army

The president of the United States, Donald TrumpHe urged the Mexican authorities to completely dismantle the caravans of migrants crossing their country before they reach the southern border.

In addition, Trump spoke of the event of April 13, when the Mexican army confronted two US soldiers in the USA.

The US Northern Command, which administers the military support of the Customs and Border Protection Bureau (CBP), has indicated that one of its elements was stripped of its weapons by military elements of Mexico who thought they had entered their territory.

Everything happened in Clint, Texas.

"A very large caravan of more than 20,000 people has started in Mexico, Mexico has reduced its size, but it is still coming in. Mexico has to stop the others, otherwise we will have to close this section of the border. Call the armysaid the president via Twitter on Wednesday.

Trump argued that Mexican soldiers "recently released arms" against the US National Guard troopsHe said "probably" was a distraction tactic for drug traffickers at the border.

"Better not to breed, now we send armed soldiers to the border"badured the governor.

"I do not have more items, I can not pronounce"Olga Sanchez Cordero, Secretary of State for the Interior, responded to Trump's insinuations about which the Mexican army could "distract" the US National Guard in favor of drug traffickers.

On the decision to send armed soldiers to the border, Sánchez Cordero said: "It's his country and he makes decisions unilaterally."

Two weeks ago, Trump insinuated that he would send "more soldiers" on the border with Mexico after hearing stories of undocumented migrants dying during their journey in the country, although their threat is not yet effective.

The United States has already deployed some 6,000 troops to the Mexican border, between serving soldiers and National Guard reservists, following Trump's willingness to score muscle before the arrival of several caravans of undocumented immigrants last year.

Given the legal limits of their mission, the soldiers devoted themselves to strengthening the border fence between the United States and Mexico. and badist the Border Patrol (CBP) in the transportation of supplies.

In early April, Trump yielded in his attempt to close the border with Mexico, stating that he would give the neighboring country a year to stop drug trafficking or impose tariffs on their cars before deciding whether to close the border area. .

The ruler then acknowledged that his threat of congestion could interfere in the renewed trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada, known as the T-MEC and awaiting ratification by the legislative powers of the three countries.

Trump canceled his threat to close the border that week, a few days after demanding that Mexico stop "immediately" the flow of undocumented immigrants crossing their country to the United States, otherwise he would close this border area.

On Monday, elements of the federal police and the National Migration Service of Mexico dismantled for the first time a caravan of migrants of more than 2,000 people, mainly of Central American descent.

In the operation, 367 migrants were insured. At a press conference, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrad and the Secretary of the Interior said the arrests were part of a strategy to control the "unusual" migratory flow. in the country.

"The issue of humanitarian visas has been misinterpretedAs a safe behavior, the humanitarian visa does not have these objectives, it has an objective of inclusion, "he said.

Mexico issues three documents to migrants: humanitarian visas, transit cards and work permits.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who at the beginning of his term offered work to all migrants who arrived in Mexico, changed jobs in recent weeks and agreed that he "does not want free transit" of migrants across Mexico .

The security of migrants is the argument for regulating their stay.
