Texas Sen. John Cornyn is seeking for U.S. soldiers to train Mexican counterparts to fight cartels in the country. The senator celebrated that provisions of a bill to that end were included in the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.

According to Border Report, the bill will now go to a conference committee. "Texas shares more than 1,200 miles of border with Mexico and binational cooperation is essential to stop the flow of deadly drugs and keep people safe," Cornyn said in a statement.
