His tweet came hours after two US soldiers were arrested earlier this month by Mexican soldiers who thought they had crossed the border into a remote part of Texas, south of the border wall section but north of the physical border.

The Associated Press reported Tuesday that Mexican troops had left after a brief conversation with US forces. An investigation by the Customs and Border Protection Bureau (CBP) revealed that Mexican soldiers thought they were on the national territory at the time of the clash.

During the incident, a Mexican soldier allegedly confiscated a service pistol from one of the American troops and deposited it inside one of the American vehicles.

"After a brief discussion between soldiers from both countries, members of the Mexican army have left the region," North American Command told the AP in a statement. "The American soldiers immediately contacted CBP, which reacted quickly. Throughout the incident, US soldiers followed all the procedures and protocols in effect. "
