The US says 5,000 soldiers arranged along the Mexican border could further increase | News Donald Trump

The United States General has announced that there are currently about 5,000 of active duties along the south of the country border with MexicoAs part of the overall pressure of President Donald Trump to break the immigration.

General Gregory Guillot, head of the US North Command, said on Thursday to the legislators that he would expect that the number could be further increased.

He also revealed that the army intensified its activities in the domain of cross -border intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). Drugs with drugs were a primary target.

“We have also increased some unique military skills that they will get after … cartel, which triggers an illegal migration,” Guillot said. “This is primarily through airline ISR to get more information about them and realize that we can oppose their actions.”

The presence of thousands of American soldiers along the border with Mexico fills the pledge of the campaign given by the President Donald Trump declare a “national emergency” on the southern American border.

January 20, on the first day of his second term, Trump signed Executive command This directed the military leader to send “as many units or members of the Armed Forces” as needed at the border, to obtain a “complete operational control” of the area.

He also invited the US Secretary for Transport to give up limits to “drones” within eight kilometers (five miles) from the border.

During his time as a politician, Trump has leaned into a native rhetoric that has framed the unfathomable immigration as an “invasion” and people involved as “criminals”. The exclusion of the border to irregular transitions was the cornerstone of his campaign for a re -choice, as launched a “mass deportation” campaign.

Trump also pressured his country’s neighbors to limit an unfathomable immigration, including the use of tariffs.

In November, before taking over his duty, Trump announced that he plans to impose a 25 percent tariff on all goods from Canada and Mexico, two largest trading partners in the country, to force them to stop drug trade and people through their shared borders with OUR.

After sworn, Trump followed his promises, announcing that the tariffs would enter into force in early February.

But Canada and Mexico negotiated with Trump to delay the tariffs in exchange for concessions.

For example, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum sent 10,000 members Her country’s national guards on the border with the US on behalf of the fight against drug trade and irregular migration.

The US and Mexico have long collaborated on the efforts to break migrations, which critics say is often coming to the detriment of human rights.

After all, not all irregular migration is illegal. The US and international right protects the rights of asylum seekers to flee across the borders to avoid persecution.

Critics also became upset about the potential of American military action against Mexican cartels.

During the first hours of his second term, Trump signed another Executive command Marking cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations”, calling them “an unacceptable risk of national security for the United States.”

In the days after that, Trump’s “Border Emperor” Tom Homan said ABC News that there could be a conflict between the increased increase in American troops and cartels.

“Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely, because the cartels make a record amount of money, “Homan said.

Other republican officials, including Governor Florida Ron Desantis, also expressed their support for military attacks on Mexican cartels.

But the Mexican government watched with a great alarm that a rhetoric with a great alarm would hold that any such strike would be a serious violation of the sovereignty of its country.

Nevertheless, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum did not express alarm about the flights of US military surveillance, as they were currently going through American soil. On Thursday, she addressed the topic at the morning press conference, before Guillot offered his testimony to the US.

“This is not the first time there have been flights of this kind, it’s not nowhere,” Sheinbaum said.

“Shall we look for an explanation? Yes, but as part of our coordination with them.”

In the meantime, asked by US legislators whether he would need the presence of a strike group for the transport of aircraft near Mexico, Guillot said he would need a “significant increased maritime presence in collaboration with the coastal guard.”
