Mexico has dispatched 10,000 National Guard and Army officers to reinforce its northern border following discussions with President Trump over tariffs. Patrols in Ciudad Juarez and Tijuana aim to tackle fentanyl smuggling, while the U.S. promises to stem the flow of American guns fueling cartel violence. The deployment is a strategic move by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
