Friday’s joint declaration says Mexico agreed to the “deployment of its National Guard throughout Mexico, giving priority to its southern border.” But the Mexican government had already pledged to do that in March during secret talks in Miami between Kirstjen Nielsen, then the secretary of homeland security, and Olga Sanchez, the Mexican secretary of the interior, the officials said.
So, the usual Trump approach- create chaos with all of his tariff threats, and then back off. My question is: DId he do this whole thing as theater, knowing that Mexico had already reached a favorable agreement, OR does he have no idea what is going on?
"MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s Congress on Thursday approved the creation of a 60,000-member National Guard to tackle the nation’s public security crisis, a force that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has made a cornerstone of his plan to confront organized crime and curb soaring violence.
The vote capped months of legislative wrangling over the nature of the force and who would control it, with human-rights activists and civil society groups lobbying fiercely to limit the military’s influence on it and warning it could represent the further militarization of policing in Mexico."
Once again we find out that Trump is lying. But hey to some posters the fact that Trump lies all the time is proof that he is the most honest President of all time!
