U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday again threatened to close part of the Southern border and send more “armed soldiers” to defend it if Mexico did not block a new caravan of migrants traveling toward the U.S.“It has been reduced in size by Mexico but is still coming. Mexico must apprehend the remainder or we will be forced to close that section of the Border & call up the Military.”
It was not clear what Trump meant by “armed soldiers’’ since at least some of the troops on the border already are armed. It also was unclear what specific caravan Trump was alluding to. Newsweek magazine, citing the military report on the incident, said the U.S. soldiers were briefly held at gunpoint by the Mexicans, who took one American soldier’s gun and put it in the car.After a brief discussion, the Mexican troops left the area, a Mexican official said.
“But we’re not going to fight with the U.S. government,” he said. “We are not going to allow ourselves to fall into any provocations.”He called the situation at the southern border a national emergency as a way to get money to build a border wall after Democrats in Congress thwarted traditional means of funding.
Mexico has returned 15,000 migrants in the past 30 days, a senior government official said on Tuesday, pointing to an uptick in deportations in the face of pressure from Trump to stem the flow of people north.
