Mexico has announced plans to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to its northern border in a bid to curb the flow of fentanyl into the United States. This move is aimed at enhancing border security and improving safety within Mexico, according to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
President Sheinbaum emphasized the humanitarian aspect of the decision, stating that assisting the US in tackling its fentanyl consumption crisis is crucial to prevent overdose deaths. The announcement follows a recent agreement between President Donald Trump and Sheinbaum to postpone tariffs, with Mexico committing to station troops at the border.
