Trump says sending ‘armed soldiers’ to US-Mexico border
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump says the US is sending armed soldiers to the southern border after Mexican soldiers “pulled guns” on US troops.
Trump appears to be referring to an April 13 incident in which Mexican troops reportedly questioned and pointed their weapons at two US troops conducting surveillance on the border.
“Mexico’s Soldiers recently pulled guns on our National Guard Soldiers, probably as a diversionary tactic for drug smugglers on the Border. Better not happen again! We are now sending ARMED SOLDIERS to the Border. Mexico is not doing nearly enough in apprehending & returning!” Trump says on Twitter.
