Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Tuesday that troops have begun to be deployed to the northern border with the United States as part of an agreement reached with the Trump administration to pause tariffs. This move comes after a phone conversation between Sheinbaum and US President Donald Trump, where a commitment was made to establish working groups between both governments to address security concerns.
The primary objective of these working groups is to create a zone free of drugs and violence along the border. As part of the agreement, the US has also pledged to investigate the entry of illegal weapons from its territory into Mexico.
