The US southern border is set to be a key national security focus in the initial six months of the incoming Trump administration, as stated by the national security adviser. Plans include actions to tighten border security by reverting to previously effective policies such as the 'remain in Mexico' program and collaborating with Mexico to strengthen their southern border. The aim is to address the challenge posed by the influx of millions of individuals crossing the border.
Additionally, concerns were raised about the fentanyl crisis and the growing Chinese influence in South America and Latin America. Southern Command generals have reportedly highlighted the need to address these issues promptly.
